7/8 needed to modify things. Fuck this over reach. That simple thing will kill the bill. Right/left friends that is a power grab gone too far.

- fossuser 6y agoOften propositions require a new proposition to change, so 7/8ths is actually more permissive than normal. That said, I think the proposition system is often problematic and I typically default to no. Though this time 22 and a few others seemed important enough for yes.
- dodobirdlord 6y agoIt's essentially a proposition to repeal a law passed by the legislature. Obviously the legislature doesn't like it, or the original law wouldn't have passed. If it wasn't essentially unmodifiable then the legislature would just annul it via amendment. There didn't need to be a measure allowing to be amended by the legislature at all, the 7/8th requirement is just in there to allow the legislature to do non-contentious fixup changes.
