SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — After Los Angeles County residents got an automated phone call reporting a mistake was on their November ballot, county officials issued an alert to voters that there was no such error.The calls — and a mailer dubbed a ballot "correction" — were part of an advertising blitz by Proposition 6 supporters trying to drive home a message to voters to overcome what they see as a misleading title and summary on the ballot initiative.Proposition 6 would repeal an increase in fuel taxes and vehicle fees that is slated to fund billion in transportation projects a year.RELATED: Poll: Support strong for Proposition 6, which repeals California's gas taxIts title on the ballot begins with: "Eliminates certain road repair and transportation funding." Proponents say that doesn't convey quickly enough its mission, which is why they titled it a "Gas Tax Repeal Initiative" in large letters on their mailer.The feud over messaging comes just weeks before the election, though complaints about ballot language are hardly new. Since elected officials craft the title and summary that voters read on the ballot, Republicans frequently contend they are at a disadvantage since California's Legislature and government offices — including those tasked with drafting and publishing ballot language — are solidly in Democrats' hands."We very often have these fights," said Thad Kousser, chairman of political science at the University of California, San Diego. "(The proponents) wanted it to only talk about what voters would get, not what voters would lose, and so they are well within their rights to make this their central campaign message."RELATED: AP: California agency, gas tax backers worked closely togetherProponents can challenge ballot language in the courts but didn't for Proposition 6, a constitutional amendment that also seeks to require voter approval for future fuel tax hikes.Instead, supporters have focused their efforts on branding the measure as a repeal of a gasoline tax hike they say is making California too expensive."We know when voters know 'Yes on Prop 6' is the gas tax repeal, they are more likely to support it," said Dave McCulloch, a spokesman for proponents. "Lawyers are expensive, and we feel money is best used by educating voters."REPORT: Gas tax funds reportedly being used to campaign against Prop 6Opponents, who argue the tax revenues are critical to upgrading the state's crumbling roads and bridges, have called the advertising deceptive. They said they also would have preferred messaging more favorable to their cause and that proponents had the chance to mount a court challenge and didn't."We find it disgraceful and deceptive that they would emulate an official voter guide with fake mailers," said Robin Swanson, a spokeswoman for the campaign against Proposition 6. "If we were writing the title and summary, we would call it, 'The attack on roads and bridges.'" We didn't get our way either, but we're not trying to deceive voters."Opponents, backed by construction industry groups and unions, are campaigning to show voters how revenues from the 12-cent-per-gallon increase in gasoline excise taxes are translating to road and transit fixes in their neighborhoods, she said.RELATED: Caltrans' gas tax freeway signs raise concerns with FedsThe battle over language comes as polling by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California shows the repeal effort trailing. In a mid-October poll, 41 percent of likely voters said they planned to vote for the initiative, and 48 percent were opposed. A January poll showed 47 percent of likely voters favored repealing the gas tax increase.McCulloch said the shift shows ballot language matters since earlier polling didn't include the measure's official title. Swanson said it showed the campaign against the measure, which took off over the summer, has resonated with voters.Opponents also have raised million, compared with million raised by supporters.RELATED: California campaign watchdog investigates gas tax campaignKeir DuBois, 41, said he received one of the correction-styled mailers in coastal Ventura northwest of Los Angeles. DuBois, who opposes the repeal, said he knew it was an ad but didn't like getting an official-looking communication that was labeled a "correction" from a political campaign."I felt like they were trying to pull one over on people who want to believe voting against every tax is a good thing," he said.Brian Greene, who has seen the mailers posted online and wants the tax hike rolled back, said he feels just the opposite.RELATED: San Diego projects receive funding due to controversial gas tax"It is just getting the conversation started about what the phrasing actually means on the bills we're voting on," said the 25-year-old from Los Angeles. "I think the layperson doesn't understand the government rhetoric. They make it as complicated as possible."In this month's poll, the measure had more support in Orange County and San Diego County, home to Republican former councilman and initiative author Carl DeMaio. Most respondents in the San Francisco Bay Area said they'd vote against it.In addition to election mailers and calls, Proposition 6 supporters have led a bus tour and put video ads on screens at gas stations that drivers see while filling up. They also held campaign events at gas stations offering discounted fuel.Mary-Beth Moylan, professor at University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law in Stockton, thinks proponents went too far in mimicking election announcements."I don't have a problem with them putting a mailer out," said Moylan, who teaches a seminar on initiatives. "It is another thing to say, 'We're going to masquerade as an official state actor and tell you that there is a correction to your ballot.' Adding that level of manipulation to the process, I think, is problematic." 5909

Sean Spicer doesn't believe he ever lied to the American people during his time as White House press secretary, he told ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday."People have hard feelings toward you because they feel that you lied to the American people," Paula Faris said to Spicer. "Have you ever lied to the American people?""I don't think so," Spicer responded. 370

SAN ONOFRE, Calif. (KGTV) - On Tuesday, two Southern California congressmen toured the shuttered San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or SONGS. There was an announcement made to the press about new legislation, amid environmental and safety concerns at the facility.Representative Harley Rouda (D-CA-48) told reporters, “We both recognize that we have an issue here.” He and Representative Mike Levin (D-CA-49) got a firsthand look at the controversial conditions inside SONGS. The two representatives serve districts that cover north coastal San Diego into Orange County, where SONGS is located. “Today, I’m pleased to announce that when I return to Washington, I’ll be introducing new legislation to ensure the spent fuel here at SONGS receives top priority from the federal government for disposal,” said Rep. Levin. His newest effort will be called the Spent Fuel Prioritization bill. To decommission the power plant, crews have been transferring spent nuclear fuel into square vaults on the beach until the government figures out what to do with them, next, which will likely involve transferring them to a remote, out-of-state location. The congressmen are calling for more federal oversight after safety concerns were raised about the integrity of the fuel storage canisters. Additionally, last summer a loaded canister was nearly dropped several feet. “I think there's dispute and well-intentioned dispute about what the outcome would have been had that 18-foot drop occurred,” adds Rep. Levin.SONGS’ operator, Southern California Edison, sent 10News the following statement: “Southern California Edison welcomes the congressmen’s efforts to develop solutions to the issues of transportation and long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel. SCE has been safely storing spent nuclear fuel on site at SONGS for nearly 50 years. We will continue to store spent nuclear fuel here safely until it is moved off site to a federally licensed facility.”“It should be important to you and certainly to your children and grandchildren,” said Rep. Rouda.The congressmen told reporters that it could take anywhere from about 10 to 30 years to fully remove the waste. 2167

Saudi Arabia regards the failed ballistic missile attack on Riyadh's international airport Saturday as an act of war by Iran and will take "appropriate" measures when the time is right, the country's Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed al-Jubeir told CNN Monday.Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for firing the projectile on Saturday, which was intercepted by Saudi defense forces before it hit the ground. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies accuse Iran of providing material support to the rebels."It was an Iranian missile, launched by Hezbollah, from territory occupied by the Houthis in Yemen," al-Jubeir told CNN, referring to Shia militias in Lebanon and Yemen closely allied to Tehran. 710

SAN YSIDRO (KGTV) -- Local businesses are feeling a one-two punch after the border closure for non-essential travel was extended during the coronavirus pandemic.The owner of El Rincon Restaurant in San Ysidro said the extension is devastating for business."I just found out a couple hours ago that they were going to do this, I had absolutely no clue," Owner Edgar Alaniz said. He was looking forward to the reopening of the border planned for June 22, now pushed back for a third time to July 21.Alaniz said he didn't want to be mad because all of this is to protect our health and safety but it's extremely difficult for businesses to survive after being closed for three months. Alaniz said about 75-80% of their customers come from Mexico. Currently, the business is only seeing about 20% of those customers. "That's what happens when the border is closed for three months, people find different ways and for a restaurant like me, they find a different restaurant," he said.He hopes when the border reopens to welcome them back.Alaniz said they closed the restaurant March 15, and continued with take-out service. Just last week they reopened for dine-in service with protective procedures, like masks and extra cleaning, in place.Alaniz hopes to see more of his neighbors reopening as well, saying he only knows of one other locally owned restaurant in San Ysidro reopening so far.He is confident we will all get through this, "we move forward with strength and a bright vision, that's what it is and that's what it will always be about."The news comes as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico agreed to extend their agreement to keep their borders closed to non-essential travel through July 21 during the coronavirus pandemic."This is an important decision that will keep people in both of our countries safe,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday. 1870
