Gunslinger, Let's get past the rhetoric and look at the entire issue.
Part 1
I have been self employeed for over 20 years; my family has run our family business since 1922, many of my friends are self employeed at everything from a magic shop to construction, and in all this time not ONE TIME have ANY of us ever had monies extorted from us in the manner the Yes on 64 folks charactize.
Part 2
On the flip side, however, our family had to sue to stop an illegal logging operation on a parcel of land adjoining ours that was polluting our stream- an act which will become impossible for us to do in the future under the provisions of Prop. 64.
PART 1. Well lets say that you get a new vehicle or you own a travel agency and your liscens number just got over looked on placing it on either one. Or lets say you own a loan company and instead of SPELLING OUT Annual Percentage Rate, you use the common abreviation of APR.
NOT ONE CONSUMER HAS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AND A LAWYER OR A FIRM CAN SUE YOU AND/OR COLLECT DAMAGES.
Whether this has happend to you or not the practice is wrong
PART 2. Prop 64 does END your family's right to sue to stop illegal logging operation NOR after it is defeated do you have to ONLY petition the state's AG to have a court stop it.
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONE FILING THE SUIT (or your lawyer does it on
YOUR behalf) NOT the lawyer filing on BEHALF of the state of California.
Prop 64 allows ANY lawyer to file a suit on behalf of the State with out even having ONE PERSON WRONGED or complaining. The situation you described above (part 2) has nothing to do with Prop 64.
