It's a proposal that has 500 thousand supporters according to Reform Michigan Government now, but the people sitting at a round table meeting Thursday weren't among them. John Pirich and Peter Ellsworth are filing a lawsuit on behalf of a bi-partisan group of people who say they want to protect Michigan's Constitution. The purpose of the lawsuit:

"To prevent the state lawyer and Secretary of State to proceed forward with the petition that's been filed," Lawyer John Pirich says.

The proposal says that all Legislator's would have to disclose their income and maybe even have their salaries reduced.

Ellsworth says he and the people he represents don't necessarily disagree with the issue of the proposal, they just disagree on having people vote for those issues all at once.

"It's an attempt to make literally dozens of changes to the constitution by putting all of them under one umbrella and presenting them to the voters as one amendment," Lawyer Peter Ellsworth says.

Ellsworth says that's illegal and if voters wanted to make changes to the Michigan Constitution then the law requires them to go through a Constitutional Convention.

Dianne Byrum is the spokesperson for Reform Michigan Government Now who didn't wish to appear on camera, but did respond to today's lawsuit via statement.

"The taxpayers, not judges with a conflict of interest should have the right to vote on this proposal. This lawsuit has no merit," Byrum says.

We should have an answer as to whether or not the proposal will make the ballot by August 21.
