P1458 REVIEW DENIED A proposed initiative that would direct a city council to exercise its informed judgment to craft and adopt laws relating to chain stores and affordable housing is constitutionally defective since it is a resolution declaring policies without containing the text of a proposed statute or ordinance; a court may retroactively justify a city attorney's refusal to prepare ballot titles and summaries for a proposed initiative that does not meet constitutional requirements, thereby making the city attorney's action for declaratory relief timely.CitationWIDDERS v FURCHTENICHT (Defective Initiative) 167 CA4 769 [See: CA Const II, 8; ElecC 9203; CCP 425.16]
