Court: Questions On Bridge, Union Rights, Tax Votes Will Appear On November Ballot

Court Okays Ballot Proposals For Collective Bargaining, New Bridge

LANSING - The Michigan Supreme Court today ordered three of the four ballot proposals before it onto the ballot, with only a proposal to add eight more Michigan casinos being excluded.

Ballot initiatives to require a statewide vote on a new public bridge to Canada, enshrine collective bargaining rights in the state constitution, and require a two-thirds legislative supermajority for state tax increases will go onto the Nov. 6 ballot, the court ruled in a consolidated opinion.

Today's ruling could have far-reaching implications for future ballot initiatives.
