The process for amending the Michi...Mr. Truesdell,<br /><br />The process for amending the Michigan Constitution is a very short read and can be located within Article 12.<br /><br />Section 2 deals with having it originate from Michigan Voters (LG Calley's current route).<br /><br />Section 1 deals with having it originate from the Michigan Legislature.<br /><br />Given that he is also president of the senate, that does give him, IMHO an easier route to place it on the ballot, to say nothing about him just walking across the street and directly meeting with members of the Michigan Legislature. <br /><br />I found the fact that he isn't doing the latter a little strange given the number of members of the Michigan Legislature who have very recently spoken favorably for PTL.<br /><br />Feel free to take the fact that LG Calley is taking the longer route any way you wish.KG-1http://rightmi.com/author/kg-one/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191275644331392359.post-19689915971189326972017-06-10T07:51:56.471-07:002017-06-10T07:51:56.471-07:00Dick Posthumus was a failed LG also.

As I understand it, a petition from the registered voters of Michigan is required to put this matter before the voters of Michigan to amend the State Constitution (but I haven't researched if it can be done by the Legislature). I don't think it is entirely up to the Legislator. That being said, this was one of my key points in my run for the 93rd District House seat,2016, in conjunction with creating a 3 year waiting period for elected officials to become lobbyist. Hopefully Mr. Calley, his wife, and Mr. Schutte will see the light and reimburse the State for the money and benefits they have accrued during their political careers which based on Mr. Calley's proposal (which I totally agree with) are ill gotten gains.
