Prop 2 fight gets started

So the fight over the Mayor's proposed changes to 2004's Proposition 2 (known this year as Proposition G) has begun with the usual round of radio ads.

The new ad, voiced by Proposition 2 supporter and former Councilman Carroll Robinson, encourages voters to reject White's plan, called Proposition G. The ad links the mayor's proposal with recent high energy prices.

"Is your electricity bill too high?" Robinson asks in the ad. "If it is, vote against Proposition G." Moments later, he asks, "Are you paying too much for gas at the pump? If you are, vote against Proposition G."

Greg has MP3s of the ads, if you want to hear them. I have to say, after implying that passage of Prop G would cost one's right to vote, this is almost tame. Here's a suggestion for the next ad: "Do you suffer from the heartbreak of psoriasis? If you do, vote against Proposition G. Do you ever get that 'not so fresh feeling'? If you do, vote against Proposition G." Makes about as much sense as anything else that's been aired so far.
