Voters to settle 270-plus issues

Tue, Oct 7 2008

There’s a little something for every voter with something to say this election, from recall and constitutional rewrites to alcohol sales and higher local taxes.

Those are among more than 270 ballot questions voters throughout the state will see Nov. 4 when they go to the polls, according to a tally by the State Board of Elections.

That’s below the referendum totals for other general elections in the past decade, the board says. It could be the product of fewer questions about local tax and fee increases in a slowing economy.
