      While I'm thinking about it . . . (none / 0) (#2)
      by Kevin Rex Heine on Sun Dec 08, 2013 at 11:06:47 AM EST
      . . . and for what my opinion's worth, the ballot language for the initiative ought to read thus:

      The Part-Time Legislative Amendment proposes to change Michigan's Constitution as follows:

      • Limit the duration and schedule of the annual regular legislative session, and require all routine business to be completed (including approving a budget) before adjournment

      • Eliminate bill carryover between sessions of the legislative cycle

      • Require executive approval for convening additional non-emergency legislative sessions, and limit the scope of such sessions

      • Explicitly prohibit a "lame duck" session, except under bona fide emergency circumstances

      • Fix legislators' base salary at $35,000 annually, adjusted for inflation decennially

      • Preserve the governor's authority to convene an emergency legislative session

      . . . which, if my math is right, uses 96 of the 100 words allowed for a ballot summary.
