In the Matter of the Title, Ballot Title, and Submission Clause for 2013-2014 89 Douglas Kemper, Mi — Hobbs, J…

Summary

Justice Hobbs, dissenting, would reverse the Title Board's action setting a title and submission clause for Initiative #89. He reasoned that the initiative improperly combined a new common-property and public-trust regime with a fundamental restructuring of state-local preemption doctrines, and that the title failed to disclose the measure's effects on property rights and potential takings liability. Chief Justice Rice joined the dissent.
