"Republicans also put a $1,000,000 appropriation into their bills that prevents a citizen referendum on the new law once it’s passed. So, not only did Michiganders not have any input into the process before the Republicans steamrolled it through, there will be no input afterwards either."

1. Can anyone explain how the R's used the "appropriation" to block efforts to repeal?

I saw it reported that this cannot even be overturned in a state-wide referendum. True?
