Abstract

"Politics and Other Mistakes" piece on a ruling by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court that laws passed the Legislature to regulate public initiated referendums violate the state constitution. The decision allows a November referendum on the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights (TABOR) to proceed and nullifies a requirement that petitions be filed within a year of the date of the first signature. Signatures that are more than a year old will not be counted toward the required number of signatures.

Subjects
