Michigan Supreme Court June 29, 2001, Docket 119274 (Michigan United Conservation Clubs v. Secretary of State)

Corrigan, C.J.

I concur in the result and reasoning of the majority opinion. I write to emphasize that the intervening defendant retains a direct remedy, the ini*367tiative process. Under our state constitution, this remedy is available even when the Legislature has made an appropriation to a state institution.
