Unions had to figure this initiative wouldn't be easy.
And so far, it's not.
The latest: Michigan Attorney General has attacked a labor-driven, proposed ballot measure that would strengthen collective bargaining rights. He says it's too sweeping and too complicated for a 100-word ballot summary, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The Free Press obtained Schuette's legal analysis that had been requested by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The analysis outlines conflicts between the proposal and 18 sections of the state constitution, concluding that it's unconstitutional, the Freep reports, and
The conclusion is that the Board of State Canvassers shouldn't allow it on the ballot.
Dan Lijana, a spokesman for Protect Our Jobs, told the Freep Schuette is wrong.
"Nearly 700,000 Michigan citizens signed a petition to place this initiative on the ballot, more than double what is required by state law," Lijana said. "Silencing the voice of all voters on the basis of a faulty legal argument defies the spirit of democracy and protections offered to citizens by our Constitution."
