Potential constitutional amendments or initiated acts on the 2008 ballot

Andrew DeMillo has a rundown of some that are being discussed: (1) a ban on homosexuals from fostering or adopting children, (2) a statewide lottery for education, (3) a minimum wage increase with annual adjustments for inflation, (4) a measure that would classify as interest the fees charged by payday lenders (and thus making them applicable to the usury limit), and (5) an initiated act to establish a $25 million trauma-care system using general revenue money.
