Court Restores Initiatives to Oregon Ballot
The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday restored five voter initiative measures to the Nov. 6 ballot, reversing a ruling that had disqualified them on a technicality.
The state high court announced its unanimous decision after hearing arguments on the appeal. It had no further comment.
One of the issues would allow tax credits for parents who send their children to parochial schools.
Marion County Circuit Judge Richard Barber had ruled Monday that the five initiatives were not eligible for the ballot because they lacked financial statements.
Other measures affected by the ruling would limit property taxes, shut down the Trojan nuclear plant until waste disposal requirements are met, ban some non-recyclable packaging, and set up a pilot work program for welfare applicants.
