California Court of Appeal

In a challenge to defendant-city clerk's modification to certain arguments against two municipal initiatives, judgment in favor of defendants city clerk and city is reversed and remanded, where: 1) defendant-city clerk does not have the authority to change an argument, or the accompanying statutorily required signature form identifying the author of the argument, to effectuate what the city clerk believed was the author's intent; and 2) defendant-city clerk's changes to certain arguments in opposition to two municipal initiatives on the November 2012 ballot violated the Elections Code.
