Naughty Petitioners Cost Rich a Fortune

Betsy Hammond at The Oregonian has written a mildly interesting piece about the initiative battles around the country, which have managed to pare down the number of states voting on TABOR spin-off measures to three. A far better report on the current state of affairs in this on-going soap opera can be found here. It's an incredible saga of millions and millions of dollars spent already by both sides, and the sorry-ass crooked petitioners who have managed to blow it for the anti-government folks who very much would like to bust the system that ended those petitioners' misdeeds. Well worth a read.

Incidentally, I have the Montana District Court's scathing decision in which he threw three of Howard Rich's initiatives off the ballot because petitioners so overwhelmingly violated the law in gathering the signatures. I will happily email a copy to anyone who emails me a request with the words "Montana court decision request" in the subject line.
