Two ads among the many aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl broadcast didn’t sell beer, cars, fast food or cell phone services; rather they were opening salvos of what could be one of the year’s most expensive ballot measure duels. Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office gave the measures formal titles to appear on the ballot. Not surprisingly, they have a distinctly political tone — negative on the Uber measure and positive on the lawyer-sponsored measures. The Uber measure title says it would limit the ability of accident victims to sue for damages. These problems need legislative correction, not competing ballot measures that will hinge on misleading campaign propaganda and further distort California’s flawed initiative system.
