Read their summary:

The CRC has published a single paper that summarizes the six statewide ballot proposals to provide brief explanations of each question, identify the implications if each question passes or is rejected, and offer some major issues to consider. The content is based on the more in-depth analyses of the questions.

This is the eighth in a series of papers released in anticipation of the November 6, 2012, general election. The other papers and corresponding webinars can be found at election.crcmich.org.

The full report is available at no cost on the Citizens Research Council's website, www.crcmich.org.
