Good morning. It's Wednesday! 


This morning, we break the news of the identity of "Jane Doe" who filed a legal challenge against a pending ballot measure last month. Find that story linked below, along with the decision of county supervisors yesterday not to fund an attorney to allow election official Clint Curtis to defend against the legal challenge. 


For extra reading, here's the original legal filing by "Jane Doe." And here's Judge Benjamin Hanna's initial ruling on the matter. Both are also linked in our story. 


Forging ahead,
