A California sports betting initiative proponent tells PlayUSA he will begin collecting signatures to qualify the measure once the attorney general releases the circulating title and summary today.
“Of course we’re going to move forward with collecting signatures,” initiative spokesperson Kasey Thompson told PlayUSA. “I have the best signature company in California. As soon as we get the title and summary, I’ll have a printing company ready to fire off 1.2 million petitions for Californians to sign.”
Qualifying for the ballot requires producing 874,641 valid signatures. The secretary of state suggests submitting signatures for county verification by April 23.
Thompson told PlayUSA he would start but would not commit to finishing collecting signatures to qualify the sports betting initiative for the November ballot.
