Power to the appropriations

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.
