A JUDGE COULD ANOUNCE TODAY WHETHER THE WORDING OF  PROPOSITION 14--- OR THE
OPEN PRIMARY INITIATIVE IN CALIFORNIA WILL CHANGE FOR THE JUNE 8TH ELECTION. A
SCHOOL EMPLOYEE UNION FILED A LAWSUIT LAST WEEK CHALLENGING THE CURRENT
LANGUANGE HOWEVER STATE SENATOR ABEL MALDONADO WAS IN COURT TRYING TO PREVENT
THAT FROM HAPPENING..  THE LEGISLATURE PUT THE MEASURE ON THE BALLOT IN ORDER TO
SECURE A BUDGET VOTE FROM SENATOR MALDONADO.. IF APPROVED PROPOSITION 14 WOULD
CHANGE PRIMARIES SO THAT THE TOP TWO VOTE GETTERS, REGARDLESSS OF PARTY
AFFILIATION, WOULD ADVANCE TO THE GENERAL ELECTION..
