The Lunacy in Gov't Award: Measure Q Proponents SUE Placer CRA Over Ballot Argument
Posted by Aaron Park on August 27, 2008 at 08:19 PM
The second ever Bill Martin award for lunacy in government goes to the proponents of Measure Q.
As not reported in the Auburn Journal
They sued the Placer CRA – actually the Placer County Clerk’s office because they accepted our ballot argument against the Colfax school district’s school tax measure.
The Colfax argument in favor was replete with the same platitudes any school tax measure is full of – but the kicker is that the Placer CRA got mobilized to submit arguments against every local tax measure on the ballot.
The folks in the Colfax Unified School District wasted taxpayer money to SUE US over people who signed the argument against this tax. That’s correct – we need you to tax yourselves to pay for more whatever, but we are going to use money we say we don’t have to fight to get this tax passed.
After having a San Francisco law firm serve us with papers – apparently, the district decided against proceeding with their lawsuit.

The Colfax Unified School District has earned the second ever Bill Martin Award for Lunacy in Government – the first ever given to someone not named Bill Martin.
