Why did ECCO choose to recommend a “No” vote on the Governor Davis recall?
Governor Davis enacted more pro-LGBT legislation than all previous Governors of California combined! Just in his latest legislative session, he signed AB 17, AB 196, AB 205, AB 266, and AB 458. As a non-partisan LGBT Political Action Committee, it would have been irresponsible to ignore this and recommend anything less. ECCO members receive political recommendations from many sources; ours is meant to represent a non-partisan LGBT perspective. Voters should use it as a tool in their overall decision-making process. For instance, a gay lawyer may find a voter guide produced by the American Bar Association a more relevant guide than one they receive from ECCO, and weigh them accordingly.
