SACRAMENTO, Calif.--Gov. Jerry Brown's initiative to raise taxes received top billing on the November ballot just hours after a judge rejected a challenge from a competing measure Monday.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny denied a request from the Our Children, Our Future campaign to stop the secretary of state from placing the Democratic governor's tax measure atop the ballot.
As a result, the secretary of state proceeded with numbering the 11 measures--10 initiatives and one referendum--on the November statewide ballot.
