Several initiatives apparently didn’t get enough signatures to get on the ballot

And here’s a look at what might have been. The following proposals (listed by the names their backers gave them) submitted their language for approval to the State Board of Canvassers, but are expected to fall short of the signatures needed to make the November ballot.

Medical and Recreational Peace
This legislative initiative would have allowed anyone 18 and older to use marijuana on private property and permitted its cultivation on residential property. Public use would still have been penalized.

Health Care for Michigan
This proposed constitutional amendment would have required the state Legislature to pass laws ensuring every Michigan resident had “affordable and comprehensive health care coverage through a fair and cost-effective financing system.”

Part-time Legislature
Michigan’s full-time legislators would have found themselves with part-time jobs and reduced pay and benefits had this proposal passed.

Continued – People’s Choice Tax Repeal
This proposed constitutional amendment would have required a statewide vote on any piece of legislation that created a new tax, continued a tax, reduced a tax deduction or tax credit or increased a tax’s effective rate or base.

Michigan Fair Tax
The state income tax and business tax would have been replaced with a sales tax had this proposed constitutional amendment passed.

Turn Michigan Around
Another proposal to create a part-time Legislature.

Proportional Senate
This proposed constitutional amendment would have created a state Senate of 50 members elected statewide.

Personal Education Account
Had this initiative passed, the amended Constitution would have forced the Legislature to provide every Michigan child, starting at age 4 and ending at age 18, funding to support education on a per-pupil basis, with funds to be controlled by the child’s parent or guardian.
