Sept. 2-Candidate DeVore chides Mayor Agran

Republican 70th Assembly District candidate Chuck DeVore indirectly attacked Irvine Mayor Larry Agran on Tuesday by filing a complaint with the California Fair Political Practices Commission against a political mailer company that Agran used during 2002 elections.
Agran won his second term as mayor in 2002, when DeVore lost a bid for a seat on the Irvine City Council.
DeVore's complaint alleges the Hometown Voter Guide failed to file required financial reports electronically, and that Agran and others didn't file necessary reports disclosing their economic interest in the mailer company. The complaint also says the guide was primarily controlled by Agran and was not an independent slate-mailer organization.
Agran said electronic filing of financial reports is required only for statewide committees, and "the rest of [the complaint] was nonsense."
Now a candidate for the state legislature, DeVore said he's just trying to make sure the largest city in what could be his assembly district is following the rules.
"I figured if I didn't weigh in, then nobody would," he said.
