The state Supreme Court this morning ruled that Initiative 1029 will remain on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Opponents argued that the long-term care worker training measure should go to the Legislature since signatures appeared on petitions identifying the measure as an initiative to the Legislature. The I-1029 campaign, backed by the powerful Service Employees International Union, said it was a simple mistake.
The Secretary of State’s office reviewed the matter and decided to accept the more than 300,000 signatures that were submitted before that decision was challenged.
I’ll update this post once more reaction comes in.
