City takes ballot opponents to court

City of Long Beach to go to court to change Measure AAA and Measure DDD ballot arguments

The Charter Amendments proposed by Auditor Laura Doud and the Mayor are quickly becoming a political flashpoint as the City Attorney has filed an action with the Los Angeles Superior Court for a hearing on Tuesday 8/28/18 to force the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors to change the opponent's ballot measures arguments.

The Special Counsel called the opponents and left voicemails that they were scheduled for a court hearing on Tuesday 8/28 in Los Angeles. 

Doud unhappy with opponents arguments 

Opponents report that they were told by the Long Beach City Clerk's office that the normal review and correction period was not followed because the City Clerk was out of the office for a week, 

According to City Hall sources, the Mayor's office and City Auditor Laura Doud were proactive in going to  Superior Court to force the opponents to change the wording of their ballot measures arguments.   The new People of Long Beach leader Juan Ovalle is the lead writer on the opposition arguments.
