More Yes on 87 star power
An interesting San Francisco Chronicle article today takes note of the phenomenon of the star power behind Proposition 87 (actress Julia Roberts put on some granny glasses and posed in front of a Yes on 87 sign in an appearance yesterday, doing her best “Erin Brockovich” reprise) and goes into a little more depth than usual about the Yes campaign’s primary source of juice, Stephen Bing, the man who, before financing the Yes on 87 campaign, was better known for losing a paternity dispute with “Austin Powers” actress Elizabeth Hurley in 2002.
Here’s another profile of Bing, from the September 22 Sacramento Bee (the link will probably prompt you to register; there’s an authentication-prompted Access World News link here).
