Bad Handwriting, Wrong Address: CO Workers Check Signatures For Oil & Gas Ballot Measures

So far, seven initiatives have been approved for Colorado’s November ballot. That’s a perfect score for the various measures, including a minimum wage increase and one that allows “death with dignity” for the terminally-ill. The Secretary of State is now sorting through the signatures for two more measures. They’re the last two to be considered and, taken together, they would seriously restrict oil and gas development in the state. Government workers are doing the tedious work of sorting through boxes of petitions to determine if Initiatives 75 and 78 have the 98,482 signatures required to be placed on the ballot.
