Howard Bashman has a nice collection of links here to stories on Friday’s California Supreme Court decision to restore Prop. 77, the redistricting initiative, to the ballot. Randy Riddle has some interesting observations (scroll down to “Proposition 77 Notes”) on the intermediate appellate court Justice who voted with three California Supreme Court Justices to grant review. This morning the SF Chronicle reports “A deal unlikely on ballot measures; Partisanship driving legislative agenda.” Meanwhile, George Skelton writes that “Sacramento is stiffing the counties by not providing money for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s special state election. It’s even stiffing California’s chief elections officer, Secretary of State Bruce McPherson.”
