Resident asks Laguna Niguel council to back original Prop 39 ballot language

Myra Okonnell, a Laguna Niguel resident, asked the council to pass a resolution supporting what she described as the "original language of Prop 39," saying she believed the Attorney General altered the ballot summary after it qualified for the ballot. Okonnell told the council the "Yes on 35 campaign has sued" over the summary and that a Sacramento judge has left the "prohibits language" in place.

Okonnell urged local action and said Huntington Beach and San Clemente city councils had adopted similar resolutions. The comment was made during public comment; the council did not take a recorded vote or respond during the meeting.

The remarks are a public request to the council to consider a formal resolution; no formal action or staff report on the matter was presented that evening.
