Gloria Romero to Antonio Villaraigosa: We’re not removing you from Prop 32 ad
The other day, we told you that LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was ticked that the pro-Prop 32 folks were using his name and comments “out of context” in an ad. He asked them to remove his name/comments from the ad promoting the measure on the November ballot that would ban unions and corporations from using automatic payroll deductions to fund political campaigns.
On Monday, the pro-32 folks responded to his request: Uh, no.
Gloria Romero, the former Democratic legislator who stars in the online ad which Tony V objected to, wrote him a letter Monday which said:
Not only did you clarify that you aren’t supportive of Prop 32, which was never
implied in campaign materials, but you insisted that the public ignore your lengthy
record of speeches, press conferences, and sound bites about how special
