[edit] RTA asks judge to make '06 ballots public
"The regional transportation plan and sales-tax ballots have been in secure storage for more than 2 1/2 years.
But an attorney for the Regional Transportation Authority argued in court Wednesday that the ballots, which normally should have been destroyed two years ago, instead should be made available for inspection just like any other public record.
The RTA is hoping Pima County Superior Court Judge Charles Harrington will release copies of the ballots so it can put to rest years of allegations about the validity of the election."
[edit] Judge rejects RTA
The ballots from the 2006 regional transportation election will not be made available for public-records requests, a Pima County Superior Court judge has ruled.
Judge Charles Harrington denied a public-records request for the ballots, made by the Regional Transportation Authority to the Pima County treasurer earlier this year. The treasurer is the county official in charge of ballot storage after an election." Read the full article here.
