The SF Chronicle offers this report, which begins: “A new Democrat-backed term limits initiative qualified for the February ballot Tuesday by a scant 957-signature margin, and opponents are complaining that political pressure pushed the measure over the top. The measure only received enough valid signatures to qualify after four counties – Alameda, Contra Costa, Riverside and San Bernardino – revised their counts Friday and added 5,490 signatures to the ‘certified and final’ totals they had submitted earlier in August.” See also Dan Walters: Term limit measure a nail-biter in the Sacramento Bee.
