"Woman Sued Over Ballot Argument"

"A Calabasas woman who volunteered to write the sample ballot argument against a controversial 152-acre resort and conference center planned next to sensitive Santa Monica Mountains parkland has been sued by the project's developer.

A Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit accuses homemaker Mary Hubbard of making false and misleading statements about the project, which developer Brian Boudreau hopes to build in a valley between Malibu and Calabasas.
