Recent Measure 37 news

Posted on December 01 2008

US District Court Judge recently concluded that Measure 37 waivers were valid and
enforceable.


In Citizens for Constitutional Fairness v. Jackson County, CIv. No. 08-3015 (filed
November 12, 2008) the court found that the Measure 37 waivers the plaintiffs got from the
county were binding, constitutionally protected contracts between the plaintiffs and Jackson
County. Alternatively he concluded that the Measure 37 waivers were final quasi-judicial
orders, and that Measure 49 could not rescind the waivers without violating separation of
powers.
