Could  this qualify as the stupidest initiative ever proposed? The only 
purposed I  could imagine would be so legislators could vote against 
contributors and  never have it known. But I guess someone thinks this is “reform” 
worth  achieving. And the proponent probably believes in  “transparency.”

Proposed Initiative Enters  Circulation

Legislature. Secret Ballots.  Initiative Constitutional Amendment. 

SACRAMENTO –  Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced the proponent of a 
new initiative  was cleared to begin collecting petition signatures today.   
 
The Attorney General  prepares the legal title and summary that is required 
to appear on  initiative petitions. When the official language is complete, 
the Attorney  General forwards it to the proponent and to the Secretary of 
State, and the  initiative may be circulated for signatures. The Secretary 
of State then  provides calendar deadlines to the proponent and to county 
elections  officials. The Attorney General’s official title and summary for the 
measure  is as follows: 
LEGISLATURE.  SECRET BALLOTS. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Requires 
members of  State Legislature to vote by secret ballot in all legislative  
decision-making. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of  
Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Potential  increase 
in state legislative costs, which would be funded within the  existing 
constitutional budget limit for the Legislature.  (15-0112.) 
The  Secretary of State’s tracking number for this measure is 1771 and the  
Attorney General’s tracking number is 15-0112. 
The proponent of the measure,  Subhendu Das, must collect the signatures of 
585,407 registered voters  (eight percent of the total votes cast for 
Governor in the November 2014  general election) in order to qualify it for the 
November 2016 ballot. The  proponent has 180 days to circulate petitions for 
the measure, meaning the  signatures must be submitted to county elections 
officials by July 25,  2016.  The proponent can be reached at 
_subhendu.has at excite.com_ (mailto:subhendu.has at excite.com) .
