| This citizen-sponsored Arizona Constitutional amendment will create a new "citizens' independent redistricting commission" to draw new legislative and congressional district boundaries after each U.S. Census. This amendment takes the redistricting power away from the Arizona Legislature and puts it in the hands of a politically neutral commission of citizens who are not active in partisan politics and who will serve without pay to create fair districts that are not "gerrymandered" for any party's or incumbent's advantage. | |||||

| Citizens Growth Management Initiative. This initiative would require cities and counties to adopt growth management plans to limit urban sprawl. The plans would have to set urban growth boundaries, limit development and new city services outside the boundaries, require developers to pay for roads and schools to serve new subdivisions, and protect air and water quality. Plans could not be substantially changed without voter approval, and citizens could adopt plans and amendments by initiative. The initiative would also limit wildcat subdivisions, provide for public access to state conservation lands, and amend existing laws to conform them to the initiative. | |||||

| In 1996 voters overwhelmingly passed the first Healthy Arizona Initiative to provide healthcare for Arizona's working poor at the federal poverty level and fund six preventative health programs. Politicians have again failed to carry out the will of the people. This initiative requires that our recent settlement with the tobacco industry - which will bring Arizona several billion dollars - be spent on the health of Arizonans, starting with funding 1996's Healthy Arizona Initiative. It circumvents the politicians, returning power to the voters, because three years is too long to wait to see the doctor. | |||||
