Former Republican governor Vic Atiyeh is being pressured to co-chair the November measure to gut the Measure 37 property rights law. This is grossly unfortunate due to the fact that the property rights measure has been approved twice by the public. The gut-measure would help wipe out people’s claims, and it denies compensation to those landowners who have been fiancially hurt the most. Many landowners will lose most of their life savings. Vic Atiyeh should be a statesman and stand with the people and not against them.
