Novick v. Myers

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court reviewed a petition challenging the Attorney General’s certified ballot title for Initiative Petition 44 (2002). The court rejected the challenge to the “yes” result statement and certified the ballot title concerning distribution of a portion of state personal and corporate income tax revenue to certain local governments.

Holdings

1. The certified ballot title substantially complied with ORS 250.035(2), and the petitioner's challenge to the result-of-a-yes-vote statement was not well taken.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Attorney General's certified result-of-a-yes-vote statement for Initiative Petition 44 substantially complied with the ballot-title requirements of ORS 250.035(2).
