Pension Initiative Mislabeling
State Attorney General Kamala Harris has a reputation for politically slanting summaries of ballot initiatives. The latest involves the pension reform initiative recently approved for circulation. Proponents suggest her summary makes it read as if current pension holders will be affected, which isn't the intent of the initiative.
The Sacramento Bee's Dan Walters points out her efforts to mislead voters could backfire should the initiative pass despite her deception:
"...were the measure to pass with Harris’ summary, it could create a legal argument that it does, in fact, go beyond requiring voter approval for future pension enhancements and would, therefore, allow current benefits and promises of benefits to be reduced."
Wouldn't that be something?

Cut benefits and wages. Send jobs overseas to Communist countries. Incarcerate more prisoners than the rest of the world combined.
The policies you support slap liberty minded people in the face. Turn off your stupid box, pick up a book. Start thinking instead of reacting.
This must be our new dumb comment fellow. Keep them coming. Makes me look good.
You're right, Fred!
