Los Angeles City Beat offers this
report,
with the subhead: "A court says Schwarzenegger can raise unlimited
funds for his ballot initiatives, but that fight’s not over." Contrary
to the headline, if the FPPC decides not to appeal, this fight is over,
at least in California in regards to the expected November special
election. It is hard to imagine the California Legislature getting it
together and passing legislation now at veto-proof levels to
reinstitute this law.
The Miami Herald offers this report,
with the subhead: "Lawmakers have been moving swiftly on a number of
proposals to incorporate power over Florida election laws in the hands
of state government." See also Election
law Rewrite Misses Long Line Woes.
The Minnesota Star-Tribune offers this
editorial.
The Sacramento Bee offers this
report. A snippet:
A ruling against the state of Texas could complicate Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's push in California for new congressional and legislative districts this decade - an effort he says will make elections more competitive.
