"Man submits 2-for-1 ballot argument"

"In an unusual political twist, a Livermore resident has used a ballot argument opposing city participation in a Tri-Valley sewage-export expansion project to endorse candidates for mayor and City Council.

Doug Mann -- a longtime advocate of city slow-growth policies -- submitted his ballot argument against the pipeline measure this week after the council unanimously approved an argument urging voters to adopt it."

If this matter goes to court, the issue will be whether statements endorsing city council candidates truly constitute an argument against the measure.
