Opinion
This petition concerns the same ballot title as we examined in Wells v. Paulus, 296 Or 338, 675 P2d 482 (1984). Petitioner asserts that the original ballot title is not a concise and impartial statement of the chief purpose of the measure and that the phrase “makes other changes” standing alone at the end of the explanation is insufficient to inform voters of the broad sweep of the initiative. We agree with petitioner that the caption and question must alert voters to the breadth of the proposed changes. We also agree that the explanation must inform voters that it is incomplete.
Ballot title certified as modified in Wells v. Paulus, supra.
