LWV-Downeast hosts a monthly radio program on democracy in cooperation with WERU FM.
We're taking August off. This month, we'll rebroadcast our program from April. talking about the citizen initiative process in Maine: the sheer number of initiatives, the money behind them, their strengths and shortcomings, home-grown vs. "from away." How does the initiative process work, and how is it working for Maine? Can ordinary citizens still run a ballot question? With eight questions on the November ballot, this is still a timely conversation.
Special Guests:
- Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State
- Todd Donovan, Professor of Political Science, Western Washington University
This show was be pre-recorded; no listener calls were taken. Comments and questions may be emailed to news@weru.org with Democracy Forum on the subject line. Learn more here.
