\"LAFD<\/a>Mayor says Yes on 32 campaign “based on deception”<\/i><\/p>\n

by Brian Leubitz<\/p>\n

In a rather strongly worded letter (PDF)<\/a>, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has told the Yes on 32 campaign to stop using his name in their materials. <\/p>\n

I am shocked to learn that you used my name and an out-of-context quotation of my words in a blatantly deceptive way, first in your rebuttal argument in support of Proposition 32, and now again in a campaign web video.<\/p>\n

But perhaps my surprise is misplaced. After all, the entire Yes on Proposition 32 campaign is based on deception and a distasteful disregard for the facts. Your unauthorized use of my name and words creates a misleading impression for voters that I support Prop 32. This is patently false. Moreover, it is a cynical and disrespectful manipulation of the initiative process.  Voters deserve truthful information.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the LA Times’ Hiltzik said over the weekend, “it’s hard to conceive how one could be more fraudulent than Proposition 32.”<\/p>\n

Note: I work for the No on 32 campaign. Please like the campaign on facebook<\/a> and follow on twitter<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
