An attorney friend who was in the court room watching the proceedings today gave me the inside scoop on the judges ruling in the IM21 challenge:
St & Ave are not required to be valid signatures; petition meets criteria under substantially compliance..enough valid signatures to be on the ballot…challenge denied IM 21 will be on the ballot according to the circuit court..writ of mandamus denied…excellent lawyering by both sides
So there you have it.
I’m told it was embarrassing for those who wanted it off the ballot. They were not well prepared.
It was quite the hand slap.
Doesn’t sound like a hand slap according to the judge…..
