Stoll Berne’s Steve Berman frequently represents progressive groups and individuals before the Oregon Supreme Court in challenges to ballot titles issued for statewide initiatives and referenda. Recent decisions include: Unger v. Rosenblum, 362 Or 210 (December 2017), where the court agreed with Berman’s argument that the ballot title proceeding was not properly before it; Parris v. Rosenblum, 362 Or 96 (October 2017), where Berman appeared in support of a state law to provide funding for Medicaid recipients, and the court agreed with Berman that the ballot title did not need to refer to funding assessments as “taxes”; Conroy v. Rosenblum, 359 Or 601 (May 2016), where the court accepted Berman’s argument that the ballot title for an anti-union initiative was vague and misleading; Blosser v. Rosenblum, 358 Or 295 (Nov 2015), where the court agreed with Berman’s argument that the ballot title for an anti-environmental initiative did not adequately disclose the effects of the measure.
