Martha Can't Do Job Because She's Running For Guv

This goes FAR beyond this issue!
 
 
Did Attorney General - Martha Coakley's relationship with Suffolk Downs Strategist - Doug Rubin of Northwind Strategies stop the repeal bid before it even started? If we can't rely on the AG, our local electeds and the State Gaming Commission to ensure due process before a casino is installed - who the heck is going to look out for us after it's here??? http://www.bluemassgroup.com/2013/09/question-repealing-casino-law-ruled-off-the-ballot/

Question Repealing Casino Law Ruled off the Ballot



Wow. - promoted by david

The Attorney Generals Office has ruled (PDF) a ballot question repealing the Casino Gaming Legislation is “not certified” as an uncompensated taking of property. Per the AG’s office:
After a thorough review of the 33 initiative petitions submitted in August, all but five have met the requirements outlined in the constitution to move forward in the certification process, Attorney General Martha Coakley announced today. The AG’s Office certified 28 petitions, which includes 25 proposed laws and three proposed constitutional amendments. The 28 certified petitions cover 14 topics; some petitioners submitted more than one version of a petition on the same topic….
Among the issues barred from being proposed by initiative petition are laws relating to the powers of courts or to religion, laws that make specific appropriations from the Treasury and laws that apply only to limited parts of the state. Article 48 also provides that laws that are inconsistent with certain constitutional rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom of elections, freedom of the press and the right to compensation for a governmental taking of private property, cannot be proposed by ballot initiatives
