ND pharmacy initiative in question

One of the two petitions submitted for signature verification in North Dakota may not make it to the ballot.  North Dakota's initiative laws require each petition to have 25 sponsors, and that those names be submitted with the petition.  The secretary of state has rejected a proposal to repeal the law requiring that pharmacists hold controlling ownership in pharmacies -- thereby preventing large retailers from opening pharmacies in the state -- because it lacked the required list of sponsors.  The sponsors have 20 days to remedy the problem, but Secretary of State Al Jaeger doesn't think this problem can be fixed.  State law requires that petitions be circulated in their entirety, and that includes the list of sponsors.  If the pharmacy petition was circulated without that list, then it's too late to fix the problem.
