State Rep. Bob Marshall is suing Douglas County Commissioners over a ballot measure that could expand the county board from three to five members — claiming they secretly engineered the language to mislead voters with a costly fiscal note and a confusing at-large election proposal. The dispute stems from a citizen-led “3 to 5” petition gathering over 20,000 signatures, but commissioners added their own twist — pushing for all five elected at-large — which Marshall says violates open meetings laws and tries to sabotage voter choice. He’s asking the court to remove the fiscal note and strike the second measure. Commissioners remain silent as this legal showdown exposes deep tensions between grassroots initiatives and local officials shaping governance.
