I am dismayed the governor decided to veto a voter-oriented, good government piece of legislation, ... However, I understand this bill would have adversely affected his govern-by-initiative approach by forcing paid signature gatherers to reveal their true identity to voters.
Certainly, you can ask someone if they're a paid signature gatherer, ... but it makes it so much easier if they simply have a badge. We need to be as up-front with people as we can about who exactly is paying for these initiatives and who is paying for the signature gathering.
