Pelissero said that while the arrangement may be legal, “the ethical problem arises when there’s the appearance that ‘something’s not right here’ seems to be in the minds of the public — legitimate concerns about the timing and the possible connection between the donation and then what the spokesperson is saying in opposition to Proposition 27.”
