Since it is legal to pay signature gathers less than minimum wage by paying on a per signature basis it is possible to buy a place on the ballot and then buy enough ad time to get it through. Selling our state democracy to the highest bidder is hardly in the spirit of the initiatives process. I would make it illegal to make signature gathers paid less than minimum wage and massive fines if a campaign has fraudulent signatures on their books.</p>
