City leaders argue that the proposal is unconstitutional and should be blocked from the ballot because it would give voters too much say over legislative decisions, effectively “usurping those powers” from their elected officials.
It isn’t overly partisan, but it is interesting to see the elected officials complain that people want to vote on something.
I would like to see more things voted on to avoid the stupid gridlock we see at times. I support abortion rights but the GOP has taken a hard stance. Every time it went to vote, people, including Republicans, have voted for abortion rights.
