Potential for 7 measures on 2010 ballot for Missouri residents
Area residents could face cramps in their writing hands if they start signing all of the initiative petitions for upcoming ballot issues. The issues range from affirmative action, to real estate taxes, to stem cell research. Earlier this month, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan announced that seven initiative petitions, four relating to stem cell research, one pertaining to banning affirmative action programs, another to health carriers, and the last involving real estate taxation, met state standards for circulation.
