The title is set for a proposed Colorado initiative to repeal newly enacted legislation that narrows the definition of “public business” in the Colorado Open Meetings Law as it applies to the General Assembly and lets lawmakers communicate by email and text message without it being a “meeting” under the statute.

But the measure is still a long way from making it onto the November statewide ballot. Even if proponent Jon Caldara decides the language approved Wednesday by the Ballot Title Setting Board is easy enough for voters to understand, it could cost as much as $1 million to collect the necessary petition signatures.

“The wording could be much worse,” Caldara, president of the libertarian Independence Institute think tank, told the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.
