Today the US Supreme Court opted to not hear a case filed by the City of San Diego regarding First Amendment rights of former Mayor Jerry Sanders to support Prop B in 2012 – the San Diego Pension Reform Initiative. In light of the decision, Prop B author Carl DeMaio issues the following statement:
“The Supreme Court accepts only 100-150 cases of over 7000 it receives each year, so while we are disappointed, we are not too surprised that the US Supreme Court did not weigh in. Prop B Pension Reform is a Citizens Initiative that is protected under the California Constitution and we continue to assert all of the legal remedies afforded to prevent it from being illegally overturned.”
