Arizona Governor vetoes bill for early review of intitiatives

"Governor Napolitano today vetoed a bill to allow ballot initiative supporters to get early rulings on whether a proposed constitutional amendment meets a key legal threshold that has kept several proposed major policy changes off the ballot in recent years.

Napolitano says requiring a state Supreme Court ruling on whether an initiative effectively includes more than one constitutional change could force the justices to rule on measures that otherwise would not qualify for the ballot. Napolitano also says the proposed review process wouldn't assure that the court is presented multiple points of view."

The story is here.
