I heard a pro Proposition 98 radio advertisement last Friday and it really made me want to puke. It began with children talking about how they were afraid that government was going to take away their schools, parks and homes or something to that effect. Throughout the whole advertisement, there was not one mention of doing away with rent control although this is one of its main objectives.
It seems that Prop. 98 proponents now need to hide their true agenda behind children. They need to cloud the voters vision of what their proposition is really about. They are counting on voters to not be fully informed by taking the time to read their ballots. They are counting on voters not to understand that the approval of Proposition 98 would do away with rent control.
Does this method sound at all familiar to you? Am I the only one who sees the similarities between the presentation of this ballot measure to the public and the manner in which our long term leases were presented to us? IMHO, they are very similar.
