Prop. 77: Gov. Schwarzenegger Beaten By The Court
Reuters reports: “A California judge on Thursday threw out a referendum backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that would have changed the way the state’s legislative districts are drawn.”
“Schwarzenegger was seeking to take the responsibility for redistricting out of the hands of the Democratic-controlled California Legislature. The governor wanted to put the measure, known as Proposition 77, before voters in a November special election.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Gail Ohanesian ruled the measure could not be put on the Nov. 8 ballot. Problems arose because the wording on petitions circulated to build support for the measure differed from text submitted to state officials.”
The power of special interests, once again, prevails…
Wake up, California.
