says the high court of the state. Initiative 747 ruled unconstitutional in a 5-4 ruling. In case you've forgotten, that was the initiative that restricted governments in this state to a 1% increase in annual budgets. Was passed with a 58% approval, but it seems that 5 of the 9 Honorable State Supreme Court Justices (two of which were pro-tem) think you were too stupid to know what you were voting on. (Hell, I've known that for some time, but to have the high court reiterate it.....now that's something.)

Here's the topper......ready?

I heard that the judgement was rendered Monday....that's Monday as in pre-election Monday.....but only released today. You don't suppose that releasing the ruling pre-election could sway some tax-initiative voter's minds, do you?

Things that make me go Hmmmmmm.
