• Does it belong in our City Charter or state Constitution? If so, another ballot vote will be needed to amend it, so correcting unin-tended or unforeseen consequenc-es will be cumbersome and costly.

• How will it be funded? Initiatives should create their own revenue sources.

• Who are the sponsors and opponents?

• Is the petition circulator a vol-unteer or paid? You have the right to ask and this statement of your right must be on the petition form.

Finally, Alameda residents con-cerned about any type of voter fraud should contact the Alameda County District Attorney at 272-6222 or the California Secretary of State at (916) 567-2166.
