SEIU says Westly is lying about Angelides

I just got this email from them:

The False Attacks on Angelides

Steve Westly's latest attack ad against Phil Angelides is an
outright lie. "The Truth About Tahoe" ad alleges that Phil
Angelides was the developer of a big condo development in Tahoe.
It claims that he damaged the environment. In fact, Angelides
purchased part-time ownership of a single condo - after it was
built - for his family's use a few weeks a year.

Additional fact: when Phil Angelides discovered that the actual
developer had done damage, he filed a lawsuit against him. It
was the developer-not Phil Angelides-who was responsible and who
was fined for the incident.

Phil Angelides has been endorsed by the Sierra Club, the
California League of Conservation Voters and over 70 leading
environmentalists from all over the state. That's because they
actually researched his environmental record.

On June 6, Vote for Phil Angelides, he's always on our side and
he's the candidate who's tough enough to beat Arnold
Schwarzenegger in November.

1. Based on the little I've read so far about that primary battle,

that does not surprise me at all.

2. Already did... permanent absentee

I don't like Westly's ad campaign at all. He twists things a tad. There is one where he confuses "endorsements" with paying for ads. The ad goes something like... check out the Angelides ads where they say he is endorsed by teachers, firefighters, police, etc., but take a closer look at who is "REALLY" paying for those ads...

Slippery...
