Appeal Filed on Schwarzenegger Measure

Tuesday July 26, 2005 5:16 AM

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Supporters of a ballot measure aimed at
redrawing congressional and legislative districts filed an appeal
Monday and were granted a temporary suspension of a lower court ruling
ordering the proposal off the ballot.

The measure, one of three backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for the
November special election, would give authority for redrawing district
boundaries to a panel of retired judges.

But organizers of the petition drive mistakenly used two different
versions in the circulation process, prompting Sacramento County
Judge Gail Ohanesian to toss the measure from the ballot last week.

Justice Coleman A. Blease of the 3rd District Court of Appeal agreed
to stay Ohanesian's order until the case could be decided.

Damn it, I thought this had been scotched.

This genie has to be put back in the bottle right now.
