My colleague Mako pointed out that Section 14 of the Shopping Reform and Modernization Act does not remove the power of the people to move forward with a citizen referendum to challenge the law. His statements are 100% accurate. The only problem is that is not the provision that I was referring to when I suggested that this bill is voter proof. Section 11 of the bill turns this bill into an appropriations bill and appropriations bills cannot be touched using a citizen referendum.
While I certainly appreciate the response from Mako and the Chicken Little portrait painted in it, the article I reference and the information therein are accurate.
