Have any of the laws we put into place through the referendum process ever stuck?

Prop 13.

Although I understand it’s under assault, just like most of the other worthwhile propositions that haven’t been overturned outright by the Benchtop Legislators.

1911: Voters ratified amendments establishing the Initiative, referendum, and recall process.

For better or worse, it stuck.

Yes. Proposition 13 of 1978. It is still in effect and has saved California's taxpayers many billions of dollars.

It is about the only way left to hogtie legislators. They never stop spending.

Prop. 13 language is written directly into the California State Constitution, fat chance this could be undone, already has been challenged.
