“I knew it could be hard to get a measure approved, but had no idea how many casino applications had been rejected. A measure has to be approved by the AG before a petition can started collecting signatures” July 24, 2019 Facebook post
KF replied: “This has actually changed since last election cycle. Ballot title no longer goes to AG for approval. To avoid getting off in the weeds with details, basically now it’s filed with Sec of State then after signature confirmation it goes to the election commission for final approval of title language. Rutledge wasn’t a big fan of being court ordered to put issues on the ballot. The legislature let her off the hook this last session.”
KF, “Also, just for clarification, she wasn’t rejecting any casino applications. She was rejecting some of the language in the ballot amendment.”
