It is Looking More Likely that Gov. Schwarzenegger Will Call for a Special Election to Approve a Ballot Measure Creating a Non-partisan Redistricting Commission

See these front page reports in the LA Times and the Sacramento Bee. Other ballot measures may appear on a special election ballot as well. If this plan goes forward, watch for a pitched battle over an isue I’ve recently written about: the legality and constitutionality of a new FPPC regulation limiting contributions to candidate-controlled ballot measure campaigns. This would be the first election in which the Gov. would be limited to contributions of $21,200. In the last election, he had many six-figure contributions to his controlled ballot measure committee, including at least three contributors who gave at least $750,000 each.
