Jaime Molera, Plaintiffs/petitioners/appellants v. Michele Reagan

Summary

Justice Timmer, dissenting, would affirm the trial court's judgment and permit the Invest in Education Act to proceed to the ballot. She reasoned that the adequacy of an initiative's 100-word description should be assessed based on an objectively reasonable understanding of the measure's language, without first resolving ambiguities through judicial interpretation. The dissent argues that proponents need not forecast unintended consequences arising from a later interpretation of ambiguous text.
