1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: But we're going to be talking a very significant increase

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: in the cost the election. But you know, democracy is

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: not cheap, and we're going to pay the price for

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's worth it.

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: Secretary of State Bill Galvin drops off more than one

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: hundred bucks as a record breaking amount of signature sheets

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: that the state House has required by law. That means

8
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: legislators have their work cut out for them. This is

9
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: expected to cost the state five million dollars more than

10
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: originally anticipated just because of the sheer amount of questions.

11
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: It would be better if some of these questions, if

12
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: they could be resolved or resolved, but it'll be up

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: to the legislature to just hide that.

14
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: Today's the deadline for questions to be transmitted to the

15
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: House Clerk's office this time around. Secretary Galvin believes the

16
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: petitions are diverse, everything from reducing income taxes to rent control. Notably,

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: there's been a counter petition filed on a signature sheet

18
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: to roll back the state's recreational use of marijuana. J
