You're troubled; the other writer yesterday was not only troubled but also "saddened" by the flier.
Slightly melodramatic. You'd think the vote was to defund an orphanage.
Should they have sent a blank paper with only text instead of pictures accurately representing the contents? If they sent a similar flier for the parks or arts special elections in years past, did they have pictures of parks or arts on them? Wouldn't that also be "trying to influence" the voters with pictures?
And what about the text? How else are they supposed to describe the proposition except by describing what it is and the goal of the proposition is intended to be? Unlike the opposition, they're sticking to what it is and not spinning out scare language.
