Assessor race heads to court
San Jose – The race for Santa Clara County assessor landed in court when the incumbent asked a judge to strike language from his challenger’s ballot statement that he claims contains unfounded personal attacks.
Assessor Larry Stone filed legal documents in Santa Clara County Superior Court Monday accusing his challenger, county supervisor Pete McHugh, of violating state election laws in a statement that would accompany sample ballots in June.
Stone said McHugh falsely accuses him of placing tax information at risk by using outdated software and seeking a property tax exemption for a housing development.
McHugh said he stands by his claims. “The statements I made in there, I believe, are factual,” he said.
