Chevron is trying to buy a local election in a town where it is being sued.
Good article by the Brennan center (which has plausible deniability as being the real author.)

But the disclaimer statute (not law, merely a statute) the article praises is unconstitutional
under the US and California constitutions. Talley v California, People v Schuster.
A more narrowly tailored statute directed at corporations like Chevron would be constitutional, federally, under Citizens United, and would present an interesting policy choice for the California Supreme Court.
Didn't realize they had a blog. http://www.brennancenter.org/blog
