What Would Be The Initiative?

Folks are chiming in on a possible initiative, but what exactly would it be?

Mention has been made of forcing ECP to be self-sustaining. Well, ordinance #2925 already states that ECP is supposed to be self-sustaining. Since the city isn't following this ordinance and four out of five commissioners don't have a problem with this, what would make them follow an initiative?

Even though the likelihood of the coal plant not being built is almost a foregone conclusion, that hasn't stopped the city from continuing their love affair with Tim Gregori. So, how about an initiative allowing the citizens to vote for the city's involvement in the coal plant?

If this initiative passed and folks voted against the city's involvement, a lot of problems would be solved. It would get the city out of the SME co-op and stop the spending and the wasting of time with regard to this fiasco.
