City of L.A.’s Measure R to Go to Voters Before Court Review

According to the docket entries, after the parties filed their briefs in the Measure R controversy, the Court of Appeal issued an order extending oral argument to November 28. It was supposed to be on October 3, giving time for the court to rule before the election.
The upshot: voters will get to decide whether or not to enact the package of extending term limits in LA and various ethics laws reforms. If it passes (and perhaps even if it doesn’t, though that’s unlikely), the Court of Appeal will consider whether the measure violates the separate vote/single subject requirements of the California constitution. You can find additional background on this case here and here.
