TRICK or TREAT?

I received the following piece of mail yesterday entitled "Save Prop 13 Voters Guide that featured Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association:

When I read this mailer and saw what I thought was a voter guide put out by the Howard Jarvis Tax payers Association I was not happy that they appeared to be endorsing Patricia Holloway for Capistrano Unified School District Are #3. I wrote the following e-mail to Jon Coupal:

I sent this out to a few other people and learned that this was not a voter guide from the Howard Jarvis Tax Payers Association, it is a "SLATE MAILER"

This particular SLATE MAILER entitled "Save Proposition 13 Newsletter" is published by the Proposition 13 Segregated Fund Account a project of Save Proposition 13 Candidate & Legislation Evaluation Committee 5405 Alton Parkway, Ste 5A-#369 Irvine CA 92604. James V. Lacy Treasurer.

This is the address of Landside Communications http://www.landslidecommunications.com/

For $399 a Candidate can really confuse voters. A very small price to pay to get the wrong information to voters.

If you go to the Orange County Registrar of Voters: http://nf4.netfile.com/Pub2/QuickNameSearch.aspx

and search by Candidates name: I put in Patricia Holloway - but there was no record of her as a candidate. So I tried Amy Hanacek.



Then I clicked on Amy Hanacek for Capistrano Unified School District in 2016 and here is what came up:

I clicked on California Form 460 Recipient Committee Campaign Statement and found that she paid $399.45 for this mailer (9th page down)



















Save Prop 13 (ID #598040) Where Amy Hanacek paid for the slat mailer I received.





I had never heard of a SLAT MAILER before so I looked it up:

From the California Fair Political Practices Commission









When you go to the Secretary of State and search for Save Proposition 13 Candidate and Legislation Evaluation Committee Entity ID Number 598040 2nd and 3rd from the bottom - you get a list of all filings:

Filing #161668995 on 9/25/16 showed the following:







So now I know that when a campaign mailer comes in, I need to read the small print to see if it is a real endorsement from a Candidate or Organization I trust, or if it is a "SLATE MAILER" and not really worth the paper it was printed on. Very deceitful- be careful VOTERS.
