San Clemente resident John Alpay has been sued by Republican-party activists who contend some of his ballot statement exceeds what is allowed by law.
The lawsuit is similar to two launched by voters against San Clemente Trustee Mike Winsten, Trustees Ellen Addonizio, Anna Bryson and Larry Christensen. Additionally, a Laguna Niguel resident filed a lawsuit saying that opponents of a measure that would elect trustees in individual areas instead of at large went too far in their ballot statement, too.
Ballot-argument statements are typically decided quickly to allow time to print sample ballots.
