PHOENIX — Republican lawmakers acted illegally in how they told voters about the effect of a provision of an initiative that would reform Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled.
But it remains to be seen whether Proposition 212 actually will make the ballot as another judge weighs whether there are enough valid signatures.
In a new ruling late Thursday, Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer said the verbiage about Proposition 212 crafted by the Republicans who control the Legislative Council was “argumentative, speculative, and non-neutral.”
