The Sacramento Bee offers this report, which begins: “Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s political team is moving to take over his special election campaign after last week’s court ruling that allows politicians to raise unlimited money for ballot measure efforts at the same time they fully control them.”
Given these developments I am surprised we have heard nothing from the FPPC about whether or not they plan to appeal. If they appeal, they should try to get the case an expedited hearing (perhaps in the California Supreme Court) so that this issue can be resolved without the potential for the rules switching again in the middle of the (expected special) election season.
