CA Legislators Trying To Overhaul Initiative Process
The number and frequency of state ballot initiatives is becoming a issue among some politicians in Sacramento. There are several initiative reforms being considered by state legislators.

Leaving a supermarket in San Diego can be a mad dash to avoid people with clipboards or makeshift desks asking for a moment of your time.
