High court explains decision that doomed TIME
The Arizona Supreme Court released its explanation of an earlier decision credited with dooming the 2008 TIME transportation ballot initiative and called on legislators to revamp initiative laws to ease the pre-election workloads of officials.
The TIME measure, which was expected to raise $42.6 billion over 30 years to address the state’s infrastructure needs, was dealt a mortal blow in August when the high court upheld a trial court’s decision that supporters of the measure had waited too long to challenge the actions of Secretary of State Jan Brewer.
