Are they legally obligated to spend all the money the City has to defend every measure that's been passed, no matter how unconstitutional it is?

- FireBeyond 10y agoI don't pretend to be an expert in City politics, but I believe that there would be grounds for a lawsuit if the City could be shown to ignore a Proposition. Certainly, I would assume that the grounds are reasonability - not "fight to the death". Bear in mind, too, that the City did try to get it struck off on admin grounds as it was being proposed and I believe a court agreed that it was unconstitutional, but that the law didn't allow for a Proposition to be preemptively stuck down on those grounds.
