Prop 77 on ballot!
Wow.
The California Supreme Court ruled Friday that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's attempt to change the way legislative districts are drawn should be placed back on November's special election ballot.
The 4-2 decision overturns a state appellate court ruling that removed the measure because of a wording dispute. It also settles the slate of initiatives voters will decide Nov. 8, unless the governor and the Democratically controlled Legislature agree to a compromise set of reforms in the days ahead.
In its ruling, the San Francisco-based court said it was unconvinced there were different meanings in two different versions of the redistricting measure. The version distributed to voters for the signatures required to place it on the ballot differed from the version submitted to the attorney general's office for review.
I don't know about you, but I didn't expect this at all.
