State Argues Case On Arizona Ballot Measure Rule Not ‘Ripe’

As signatures are being counted for several citizen initiatives that were turned in last week, a court battle is going on over how easy it should be for voters to propose their own laws.

Now, attorneys for the state and Republican legislative leaders are asking the Arizona Supreme Court to reject efforts by some organizations to void a statute that could make it harder for these citizen initiatives to make it on the ballot.

Capitol Media Services’ Howie Fischer joined The Show to explain all of this.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
