1) Bob Ferguson line item veto’d the emergency clause in a CCA reform bill today because - get this it doesn’t go into effect until January so he reasoned that it was not an emergency 2) Bob did not veto a similar clause in the income tax, however, even though the income tax does not go into effect until 2029! He knows very well that the legislature abused its authority and he is signaling clearly to all voters he does not give a flying ferguson about the constitution when it doesn’t suit him 3) The SOS Steve Hobbs, today, rejected our referendum challenging the illegal use and interpretation of the emergency clause on the Income tax bill. This is not entirely surprising in a state where 40 years of one party rule has lead to a complete disregard for the words, meaning of words, rules, and laws outlined in our constitution. 4) We will challenge this in court. 5) As a referendum only has until June 10 to collect 200K signatures, We will ask the supreme court to treat our petition as an actual emergency and act quickly on this issue and to follow the actual wording of the constitution rather than the wishful thinking of the legislature 6) Should they refuse to take this up or ignore the actual wording in the constitution, it should be a reminder to every citizen in November when 5 justices will be on the ballot that we need a supreme court that will follow the law
