New Poll: California Wants Ballot Prop Reform

We’re off today preparing some big-like posts and articles. But here’s a coupla things you should know.

Public Policy Institute of California releases a new poll about all sorts of issues.  Of course, we’re most interested in the ballot prop stuff:  77% of those polled favor a system of “review and revisision to avoid legal issues and drafting errors.”  77% also favor “a time period in which the initiative sponsor and legislature try to reach a compromise solution before the initiative reaches the ballot.  84% favor public disclosure of funding sources for signature gathering and initiative campaigns.  72% favor televised debates on initiatives. These are all excellent ideas.  [PPIC]
