Professor Jayne Woods was recently quoted in a ProPublica article discussing the passing of a Missouri ballot measure making it harder for legislators to overturn citizen-passed measures.
“I think the people of Missouri are trying to wrest control back from our legislature because our legislature at this point does not seem to really be representing the majority view in the state,” said Jayne Woods, a professor at the University of Missouri law school who has written about the tension between direct democracy and legislative power.
