A group that sued unsuccessfully to get “Proposition C" off of the August ballot said Monday they will not appeal.

On Friday, Cole County Judge Paul Wilson dismissed a lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of the August ballot measure.

That decision green-lighted a statewide vote on a provision of the new federal health care law.

The suit had claimed that the proposal violated a constitutional prohibition on multiple subjects.

Plaintiffs' attorney Chip Gentry said Monday, his clients decided to save the state and the taxpayers a lot of money by not continuing their fight to the Supreme Court.
