Even though this event happened on public grounds it still makes me want to make sure my property is fenced.

I looked on Wikipedia and it states that 24 states plus the District of Columbia still have 'I & R's'. There is talk in several states about reforming the process however, due to the ability for a well-funded individual to put together an initiative and hire people to gather signatures (which is how Tim Eyman operates) to get on the ballots. Other reforms proposed would be a cooling off period to allow the legislature to act and paying signature gatherers by the hour, rather than by the signature. Another proposal is to allow for national initiatives, though there was not much detail on that.

Today in class Frank mentioned how states allow Initiative, referendum & recall. I googled and found out that according to the national conference of state legislatures, " Eighteen states permit the recall of state officials. A recent, high-profile example of the recall process was the recall of California Governor Gray Davis and his replacement with Arnold Schwarzenegger". According to ballotpedia.org, Washington state is one of the 18.
There was a lot of interesting information on this site including a detail description of Initiative, Referandum & Recall. Follow this link to get to the page I am referencing: http://www.ncsl.org/legislatures-elections/elections-campaigns/initiative-referendum-and-recall-overview.aspx or go to ncsl.org and snoop around!
