"A court decision this week will likely resolve an error by Oakland city officials that otherwise could have muddled the outcome of a November election initiative to pay for more police officers."
"The ballot initiative, Measure NN, would double the amount charged by an existing tax on land parcels from $99 to $198 per year for a single-family plot of land."
"By the time the city attorney's office noticed the errors, it was too late for edits - prompting city clerk Asha Reed to file a lawsuit against the Alameda County Registrar of Voters."
"Judge Michael Markman of the county's superior court is expected by Friday to order a change to the language, allowing Oakland to avoid yet another chaotic election debacle."
