10. It becomes a big deal when one side uses violates the state constitution for the express

purpose of passing laws that strip local communities of their elected government while allowing the Governor to appoint an "Emergency Manager" to rule over the new fiefdom. Talk about a whole new form of political payback. And to pass a law to make it more difficult for laws to be repelled by the will of the citizens is reprehensible. Citizen initiated petitions is the one act that allows the people to effect government when faced with a legislature unwilling to listen to the people.
