I believe that we need an initiative to ban initiatives regarding wildlife issues in the state.What I'm getting at is that I believe that when/if wdfw ever delists wolves and if they ever wish to use hunters to help with population control of wolves it is almost a sure thing that there will be a voter initiative banning hunting of wolves.So, what I think needs to happen is that there needs to be state law that dictates management needs to be done based on science and not emotional voters. The only problem I can see with law like that though, is bad science. For instance, most of us know that WDFW is using bad science from some professor at WSU regarding cougar quotas. So, I don't know what to do about cases where bad science is dictating wildlife management policies, but I know for sure that voter initiatives scare the *bleep" out of me. We can't afford to have any more initiatives like what happened in 1996.Any thoughts?
Here is the FIX for the initiative system!Make whatever "initiative" put on the ballot, in order to "pass" has to be passed by a 2/3'd of the "County's".Since we now know our SCJ's can't count and you know WHO(3 county's) runs the state!
The only method for proposing an amendment to the Washington State Constitution is through the legislature and can originate in either branch. The proposal must be approved by a two-third majority of the legislature. The proposed amendment is placed on the ballot at the next general election, and must be approved by a majority of the electors.
