Reforming Ballot Initiatives
Listen Listen (RealMedia stream)
ListenSorry, no MP3 download is available.

California's elections are often a battlefield of clashing ballot measures. The state's version of direct democracy was born a century ago as a way for citizens to rein in cut-throat corporations and arrogant government officials. Today, critics say some of those initiatives are often confusing for voters -- and that they hamstring good government. We talk with one man who's trying to change that.
Host: Cy Musiker
Guests:
Bob Stern, president of the Center for Governmental Studies, a state government watchdog organization
