Isn’t it the legislature’s job to make laws?
State legislatures do make most of our laws and that will most likely always be the case. However, when a legislature is unresponsive to the wishes of the people that elected them the people need the ability to act. Too often legislators are influenced more by well financed special interest groups and are not listening closely enough to the people that elected them. I&R provides citizens with a way to “right the ship” when legislators step out of line.
