Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Trandahl has ruled that the Attorney Generals explanation for the initiated measure on maximum finance charges is acceptable.

Opponents of the measure challenged the explanation in court.

Attorney General Marty Jackley says his office carefully goes through each ballot issue to come up with a clear explanation…

 

Jackley says they are limited in what they can include in the explanation…

 

Jackley says they will have a number of ballot issues to work through this year…

 

The explanation, under state law, has to give a clear and simple summary of the purpose and effect of the proposed measure.
