Judge keeps drink tax referendums off ballot

Judge keeps drink tax referendums off ballot An Allegheny County judge today upheld a board of elections ruling that both proposed referendums on the county's drink tax cannot appear on the November ballot.

Judge Joseph James agreed that the initiatives -- one proposed by opponents of the drink tax and one proposed by county council -- were legally insufficient.
Judge James can't be bashed by me as I'm sure to be before him in the future in some ballot challenge. So, I'll just grumble to myself.
