After Maine Supreme Court ruling, Taxpayer Bill of Rights measure will be on ballot
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights will be on the ballot in November. The Maine Supreme Judicial Court cleared the way for TABOR on Thursday when it overturned a Superior Court ruling that found the secretary of state erred when he accepted signed petitions beyond a deadline set by the Legislature. “The question of the statute’s consistency with the [c]onstitution is at the heart of this case,” wrote Chief Justice Leigh Ingalls Saufley for the five-judge majority.
