What's the deadline to get enough sigs to make it to the ballot as a citizen's initiative?
I'm fairly confident that if it makes it to the voters in Michigan it will likely pass, but frequently even in states where citizen ballot initiatives are common, ballot thresholds can make it tight towards the endgame, especially if a chunk of supporters are relatively younger and more likely to move around and such, which can create a much higher % of "invalid" signatures when the SoS does the "spot checks", and I'm sure that Washtenaw and Ingham will be disproportionately audited on this particular initiative....

Yes, the campaign behind is being run quite well - they are ahead of target on signing and are trying to get a strong support in their polling for their proposals. Revenue wise it is mid-range, plant restriction wise it is one of the least restrictive.
A speaker from MI Legalize came to our last monthly meeting. I liked how the new laws did not create any new more stringent penalties where there were not before.
Of course the police are not very forthcoming with comments on it but a lot of other groups they've put the proposals to have been fairly supportive.
