The appeal must be dismissed. Petitioner appealed this determination on December 12, 1997.
Petitioner claims respondent improperly rejected the proposition.
Accordingly, he claims the proposition should have been placed before the voters. Additionally, petitioner objects to respondent's action in January 1997 increasing the number of signatures required to submit a proposition to 250. Petitioner contends this increase is unreasonable. Respondent maintains that the appeal should be dismissed as untimely because the petition was brought more than 30 days following the challenged actions. In addition, respondent raises numerous other procedural defenses.
