Mayor Reed Files Lawsuit over Wording of State Pension Reform Initiative https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/2_6_14_legal_challenge_over_wording_of_state_pension_reform_initiative/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/2_6_14_legal_challenge_over_wording_of_state_pension_reform_initiative/#comments Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:12:21 +0000 http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/2_6_14_legal_challenge_over_wording_of_state_pension_reform_initiative/

Backers of Mayor Chuck Reed’s state pension reform initiative filed a lawsuit this morning to change what they call inaccurate ballot language published by the office of Attorney General Kamala Harris. The only recourse to change a ballot summary in California is in court. And since all signature-gathering to place the measure on the 2014 ballot will stop until the case is resolved, it likely won’t make it to voters for another two years.

A legal fight may keep San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed’s state public pension initiative off the November ballot now that proponents want to sue over the way California Attorney General Kamala Harris worded the ballot language.

Neither Mayor Chuck Reed nor his union opponents liked the way California Attorney General Kamala Harris worded the official description of a polarizing pension reform ballot measure, which on Monday was cleared for signature-gathering to place it on the November ballot.

Attorney General Clears DA Jeff Rosen of Any Illegal Conduct in Granting Admin Leave https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/8_5_13_district_attorney_general_jeff_rosen_admin_leave/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/8_5_13_district_attorney_general_jeff_rosen_admin_leave/#respond Mon, 05 Aug 2013 22:23:58 +0000 http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/8_5_13_district_attorney_general_jeff_rosen_admin_leave/

The office of Attorney General Kamala Harris has informed the county that Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen broke no laws when giving some of his top deputies extra admin leave to make up for lost wages. In a letter to County Executive Jeff Smith, who asked the AG to start a civil investigation in April, Alicia Fowler, a senior assistant attorney general in the Employment and Administrative Mandate division, wrote: “Based on all the information that the county provided to us, including extensive documentation and in-person interviews, we have concluded that there has been no violation of law.”
