Consensus on Initiative and Referendum

As the VOTER goes to press, East Alabama has had its consensus meeting on I & R and Birmingham has had its discussion session. Whatever the ultimate position of the LWVAL, all involved so far agree that it is a complex subject. The initiative process provides opportunity both for great good and great harm. Please give it your best thought, for the subject will certainly come up again – in the legislature and in the constitutional convention we are going to have someday, perhaps soon.
