From the A.P. Monday
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A group backing ballot measures on eminent domain and govenment spending goes oh-for-two in court. A judge today ruled Secretary of State Robin Carnahan was right to reject the initiatives because some of their petition pages were not properly organized under state law.
State law requires petitions to be number sequentially by county.
Cole County Judge Richard Callahan also upheld Carnahan's additional reason for rejecting the eminent domain petition because it contained an old financial summary.
Both amendments were proposed for the November ballot by a called Missourians in Charge. It had asked Callahan to reverse Carnahan's decision.
