"It would end collective bargaining for state, county and local workers, except for police, firefighters and the state patrol."

There's no other way to interpret that combined with the fact that only a public referendum could allow them to have raises. Would it be on every ballot or just special ballots? Would it be voted on every year or whenever politicians feel like it?

You can't discriminate against one group and let all the others be allowed to operate under existing laws like this, it's completely ludicrous. The state senate can pass it and the Governor can sign off on it, but it'll never stand up in the courts.
