OK, boys and girls -
Today's San Francisco Chronicle has a full-page ad urging you to vote Yes on what they call the "Taxpayers Right to Vote Act", Proposition 16. The ad prominently features endorsements and stirring quotes from:
* Jim Wunderman, President and CEO of the Bay Area Council;
* Hunter Stern of the Coalition for Green Jobs;
and
* Darnell Turner of the Contra Costa NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)
Does this create the impression that Bay Area leaders, green job folk, and - ahem - colored people support this initiative? Do you think "Taxpayer's Right to Vote" aptly conveys the initiative's purpose?
OK, here's your exercise: do two minutes of googling or other research, and report back what you found. Don't be shy.
I'll return shortly.
