PY JEFFREY LEWIS == a ATTORNEY AT LAW revit dentate Fotng ean, Katyguonewitoncon September 12, 2010 VIA E-MAIL oo and U.S. MAIL, Mz, Burt Arnold, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Marymount Coll RE: Ise and Misleading Campaign Materials Dear Mr. Arnold, I write to you as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Marymount College. On ‘Wednesday, September 8, 2010, Los Angeles Superior Court judge David Yafee found “clear and convincing evidence” that the following ballot argument in favor of Measure P was false and misleading: “[Pact - Measure P]...guarantees that Marymount College meets all City codes and obtains City permits with strict construction time limits for every part of the plan.” Judge Yafee ordered the above words stricken from the ballot arguments. Thereafter, T (and most residents of RPV) received in the mail a flyer (entitled “Now is the Time”) that repeated these very same false and misleading statements. I also note that the website for Marymount’s “plan” has a “Myth vs, Facts” flyer that repeats these same false and misleading statements. Finally, 1 noticed that the most recent issue of the Palos Verdes Peninsula News contained a full-page ad that repeated these false and misleading statements. I call upon you to present this letter to the entire Board of ‘Trustees so that the other trustees have the opportunity to review my letter and following such review, to: 1) retract these false and misleading flyers; 2) mail corrected flyers that omit each falsehood; 3) publish only truthful information on Marymount's plan website, in flyers and in newspaper ads; and 3) apologize on behalf of Marymount for deceiving RPV voters. On several occasions, Page2 September 12,2010 Marymount representatives have pledged to “take the high road in the election.” This is Marymount’s opportunity to fulfill tha pledge. I await your written reply and, more importantly, your prompt action on behalf of Marymount.
