The day after the radical non-profit OCCORD formed the Committee for District Elections to fight for single-member council districts, allied individuals formed the “Committee Against Measure D.”
Measure D is the charter amendment on the June ballot that would change the mayoral term from four to two years.
The principal officer is Anaheim City School District Board of Education member James Vanderbilt; he is also running for city council on Mayor Tom Tait’s slate and signed the ballot arguments against Measure D. The treasurer is Helen Myers, a friend of Cynthia Ward, treasurer of a political action committee formed last year by Ward, and was treasurer of millionaire developer Tony Bushala’s Fullerton Recall PAC.
Interesting article on Huffington Post a day or two back about people with many Republican values registering as Democrats and winning election in California. Seems a great follow up piece could be written about Tait and friends going the other direction.
