Molly Munger tax initiative drive offers workers a chance for free cars
SacBee: Capitol Alert ^ | 3/24/12 | Jim Sanders

Key to victory?

A car key, perhaps.

Michael Arno, whose company is spearheading the drive to qualify Molly Munger's tax measure for the November ballot, plans to give away a car each week in a drawing involving his top signature gatherers.

The weekly winner can choose a favorite vehicle in the $15,000 price range, said Arno, whose firm must gather 504,760 valid voter signatures.

County elections officials must confirm voter signatures by June 28, so the secretary of state has suggested that campaigns submit their petitions to local government by April 20. Clearly, it's pedal-to-the-metal time for initiative drives.

FYI: ...And Charles Munger Jr. is now the Chairman of the Santa Clara County Republican Party, who had previously supported the Proposition 14 efforts to successfully change the primary system to a top-two run-off (regardless of party)

I didn’t think there could be any ‘pay for play’ kind of recompense when people are trying to get signatures on petitions.

What is this? Seems like pay for signatures to me.

It’s paying to gather signatures. The unions have tried to outlaw it, because they can order their members to collect signatures, and that would give them a huge advantage.
