Court derails ballot initiative

Wed, Sep 24 2008

A state appeals court ruled against an anti-rail group, which has still not yet admitted defeat in its five-month- long attempt to create a ballot question to block the city’s proposed $4 billion rail transit project.

The state’s second-highest court yesterday rejected a motion by Stop Rail Now to order the city clerk to place its question on the November ballot asking voters to prohibit the city from building a rail or train system.
