..Allm'• , .c.a ,au ~e state ;upreme Court has ordered the appellate court to hear USD's Center for Public Interest Law's case challenging the FPPC's interpretation of Props. 68 and 73. The Fourth District court had earlier dismissed the center's sUtt against the FPPC and Franchise Tax Board. Those state agencies ruled that Prop. 73 - banning use of public funds for state political campaigns - prohibits Prop. 68's fund created by contributions made through a tax form checkoff. The center maintains that the Prop. 68 contributions are voluntary and therefore can't be considered public . E v4llm ·• "'· C.
