Election grab bag: Oakland mayor recall backer opposes marriage equality, then backtracks
Briefly

Foundational Oakland Unites, a committee backing the recall of Mayor Thao, came out against marriage equality through its 'Common Sense Voter Guide,' sparking controversy.
A recent poll shows two-thirds of voters support Prop. 3, aiming to protect same-sex marriage rights, contrasting against previously successful 2008 measures that restricted them.
After backlash from their stance opposing Prop. 3, Foundational Oakland Unites stated the opposition was a 'printing error' and claimed support for Prop. 3 on their website.
The committee argues against local measures citing mismanagement of taxpayer funds, positioning itself as a voice for public safety amidst the recall of Mayor Thao.
