Dan Weintraub reports that the Attorney General is refusing to create a new summary for Prop 77, even though the version that is currently scheduled to go on the ballot is not the one he originally saw:
The title and summary that's been posted at the secretary of state's site for Prop. 77 is the one Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer prepared for the version of the initiative that was never circulated. He's said he doesn't intend to prepare a new one unless ordered by the court to do so. But the law requires the title and summary to be available for review by the public for a certain period.Dan has a question for Lockyer. I have more pointed ones:
Mr. Lockyer, either you are intentionally flouting the law, or the summary you initially prepared needs no changes, as the two versions are fundamentally the same. Which is it? If there are differences, which words in the summary would you change, and why?
