Backers face trouble with ballot initiatives
Too many proposals and not enough time are adding up to heartburn for backers of several state ballot initiatives.
Some of the proposals that supporters hope to put before voters this November are chalking up higher-than-normal error rates, potentially imperiling their chances of getting on the ballot.
This could have consequences for ballot measures that seek to preserve state trust land, to increase the state sales tax to pay for transportation projects and to block any attempt to institute a real-estate-transfer tax.
