Had the legislature intended the Attorney General to use similar wording in ballot title captions and result statements, petitioners reason, those statutes would not have different requirements. Petitioners suggest that their argument is bolstered by the fact that result statements may be five words longer than captions. Nevertheless, we do not agree that a result statement necessarily is defective merely because it is worded similarly to the ballot title caption. Thus, regardless of their similarity to the caption, those statements satisfy the statutory standard. Here, the statements are parallel.
Prohibition applies even if public entity reimbursed for using public funds.
Would prohibit public employee payroll deduction for union or any other entity using deduction for political purposes or commingling political, non-political funds. Requires monetary penalty for violation. Ballot title certified as modified. However, I disagree with the majority's holding that the caption that the Attorney General certified must be modified in the way that the majority does. Although that may be one result of the measure, the conclusion that limiting the use of the payroll deduction is the subject matter of the proposed measure does not follow from the text of the measure.
