Michigan citizens are wondering why it should cost $2-3 million to get a question on their ballot. This citizen-led group is protesting the a 180 day rule on signature collection.
These activists spent close to 11 months and $1 million gathering signatures in an effort to get a marijuana-related question on their November ballot. This lawsuit will challenge the decision by the state to end the MI Legalize effort by claiming the signatures are not valid and are considered “stale” as they believe they are order than 180 days.

“We have a litany of state and constitutional claims,” said Lansing attorney Jeffrey Hank, who chaired the MI Legalize group and filed the lawsuit, along with lawyer Thomas LaVigne of Grosse Pointe Park.
“This isn’t just about marijuana. We’re trying to preserve the right of grassroots groups to get a question on the ballot,” Hank said.
