Arizona
Supreme
Court
Judge
Sides
with
Legislative
Council
over
Prop.
300
Description
8/07/98
Overturning a ruling by a Maricopa County Superior Court judge last Friday, the Arizona state Supreme Court rejected an attempt by opponents of Prop. 300 to keep "heroin, LSD, and certain forms of PCP" out of the official description of the referendum. "The People Have Spoken" sponsored Prop. 300 in the hopes that its defeat would restore the drug medicalization referendum passed there in 1996 that had been gutted by the state legislature in early '97. Hence, a "no" vote on Prop. 300 is a vote to restore the drug medicalization act passed by the voters in '96. The Prop. 300 and final voting guide text are online at http://www.sosaz.com/election/1998Info/PubPamphlet/.
