Note: A potential Measure A, the "City of Mt. Shasta Community Water Rights and Self-Government Ordinance," was removed from the ballot By Siskiyou County Clerk Colleen Setzer on August 12. She said she was removing it "due to alleged procedural errors and violations of elections code, including a changing of initiative language and improper filing of documents and fees." Supporters of Measure A filed an appeal of Setzer's decision in Siskiyou County Superior Court. In addition to a procedural dispute about who the appropriate election official was with whom to file the initiative language before circulation, Siskiyou County claimed in its court filings that Measure A violated the single-subject rule and "Doctrine of Preemption." The Doctrine of Preemption says that no ordinance can be valid if it duplicates, contradicts or enters into an area fully occupied by general law.[1][2]
