The court majority held the attorney general’s revised approval on a popular name and ballot title occurred after petitions circulated, voiding certification. Revenue officials will continue collection until exemptions are issued, with about 267000 in a special fund and state estimates of losses from federal tax exemptions uncertain due to nonsegregated feed payments.
