"Members have a lot of different opinions about it, and some are still trying to figure it out," Cupp told reporters."At this point, I don't see it moving forward this session. I don't know what they're going to do next session."that gives citizens the right to place amendments on the ballot. LaRose and Stewart argued the resolution would ensure special interests can't use the constitution to litigate issues that should be left to the Legislature.
