Renewable energy initiative will be on November ballot

Tue, Sep 9 2008

Backers of a proposal requiring Missouri utilities to use more renewable energy said Monday a state judge has ordered the measure be placed on the November ballot.

The secretary of state’s office in August determined that supporters of the renewable energy measure had fallen short in their petition drive to place the question before voters. Missourians for Cleaner Cheaper Energy sued to challenge the finding. Jim Kottmeyer, a spokesman for the group, said Monday that a Cole County judge had sided with them.
