Hey everyone—quick update from today’s episodes about Ballot Prop 50 and why I voted NO and why it matters for our state.

We taped two shows today in Talking Califoenia and they will both drop over the weekend.

I also just got a call about concerns that I was representing myself as an official from the city because the city seal was behind me on my wall, in my PRIVATE office during one short reel. They stated I was “illegally” using the city seal to promote politics ? Yes, on a certificate on my wall, in the background ? lol.

Just to be clear: I’m not claiming any official city status. The city has given me some awesome awards and certificates, and I’m grateful for those.

I’m speaking from my private office, with the city seal just happening to be in several items in the background, not misrepresenting anything.

I am the former Mayor and nothing will ever change that and I will always speak out when I see abuses of power. This is one election where we cannot afford to stay silent on and I am advocating for us citizens and voting No on 50.

If someone spent time and resources on this, that’s on them. I’m moving forward with transparency and doing what I can for our community. Go Dodgers ! Vote NO on 50 ! Have a great day!
