A group trying to force legislators to read bills before they vote to pass them has had its initiated measure approved for circulation. Honor in Office will now need to get almost 26,000 signatures before such a measure  can get on the ballot. The group’s executive director, Jerrol LeBaron, said he and a group of more than 20 volunteers will be hitting up fairs and county events as well as advertising the petition in local businesses.
