It will be a chance to kiss the rings of the high priests of corruption in Excremento. You may be persuaded (no doubt with the offer of taxpayer money) to drop your initiative if it doesn’t suit the wishes of the oligarchy and their elitist puppet masters in the PE unions, enviros, and coastal elites.
Be mindful, of course, that if you become stubbornly reluctant to change or abandon your proposal you could wind up with a horse’s head in your bed courtesy of the SEIU goons.
You need to think positively. It’s entirely possible they may cut you in on the action like they did the grocers group with the 10 cent per bag giveaway of hard pressed consumers cash at the grocery store.
And if there is even remotely any possible connection to climate change they might even fold your idea in the carbon trading program just like they did gasoline. This one is an absolute potential gold mine if if you can swing it. There is one catch however. They get to keep the majority of the extortion money stolen from the car driving neanderthal rubes for themselves. It works best for them since they can spread around the cash most efficiently and directly to their enviro friends (who BTW, are the biggest donors to their campaigns) for various and dubious ‘gang green’ subsidies.
And no idea for an initiative is too crazy either. I just bought a dozen eggs today and the price is up over a dollar from last week. Asked my grocer what was going on an he said a new law passed by initiative mandates more space in chicken cages so the little fellas don’t feel crowded and stressed. Who knew chickens felt stressed? But that gets me thinking- OK, who got to our kleptocratic legisrats this time? I’m not sure but maybe Darrell (Bugsy) Steinberg’s brother-in-law builds chicken condominiums and is making a killing unstressing chickens.
So get cracking on those signatures. The good news is so many of our fellow citizens have decided to give up voting altogether because of nonsense like this that it doesn’t take many signatures to get your proposal on the ballot.
And don’t be afraid to meet in a pot-smoke filled room with these fine folks. (I know, I know, it used to be cigar smoke filled room but no tobacco smoke please–EVER) Be optimistic and remember:
We have the best legislature money can buy.

Excuse me but that’s a stick in the eye to the promoters of an initiative.
