[epistemic status: I read it on the Internet] I heard that in California they’ve got a ballot initiative that’s like “we should fund immunology research :D” except the actual initiative requires like half the funding to go to places meeting a specific list of criteria that are literally only met by the institution that sponsored the ballot initiative

meanwhile here in Illinois we have “”“ballot initiatives”""" but they don’t actually do anything, they’re purely advisory, the legislature can just ignore them

I’m trying to remember what our three were.
I’m pretty sure one of them was, “Should we extend the tax breaks to landowners with up to 2,000 acres to ones with up to 4,000 acres?” but I can’t remember the rest.
Right, it was this, “do we continue to have the legislature elect judges or have them run for election”, and “do we do a 911 fund”.
