California Court of Appeal


Yes on 25, Citizens for an On-Time Budget v. Superior Court, C065707

Plaintiffs' petition for a peremptory writ of mandate seeking to compel the superior court to vacate its judgment ordering revision of the ballot title and summary and the ballot label for Proposition 25 prepared by the Attorney General, is granted as, the challenged language, "RETAINS TWO-THIRDS VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR TAXES," does not misleadingly suggest that approval of Proposition 25 is necessary to maintain the existing two-thirds vote requirements for raising taxes and there is nothing in the substantive provisions of Proposition 25 that would allow the Legislature to circumvent the existing constitutional requirements of a two-thirds vote to raise taxes.
