Davis' ad distorts Simon's S&L business record (Daniel Weintraub, June 13, 2002, Sacramento Bee)

Simon's business record is fair game. But this commercial is a cynical attempt by Davis to mislead ill-informed voters. While it is true that the savings and loan failed, the business went down only after the government broke its word to the investors. Simon is not the villain here. He is the victim.

Here's what happened.
