NATION IN BRIEF : OREGON : Judge Disqualifies 5 Ballot Measures
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Five statewide voter initiatives aren’t eligible to be on the Nov. 6 Oregon ballot, Marion County Circuit Judge Richard Barber ruled. Barber said the proposals no longer qualify for the ballot because they won’t be accompanied by financial impact statements as required by state law. The measures would limit property taxes, shut down the Trojan nuclear power plant, ban some non-recyclable packaging, establish a pilot work-in-lieu-of-welfare program and allow tax credits for church-sponsored schools.
