It is a recipe for total lack of accountability, which is what we see.
The initiative process keeps putting patches on problems that are far more fundamental. It "protects" us from taking the hard medicine that results from electing responsible leaders. It matters not if it is a drugged out crack mom or a corporate lawyer, the process threatens to make welfare addicts of us all simply because of its inherent propensity to contradictory statutes, sops for the black robes of despotism.
I would add that within the initiative process there are all the fine-print provisions hidden behind the ‘patches’ which oftentimes cause a whole other set of problems.
WASS, as Waspman might say.
Speaking of which, where has that man been?
