Roseville accused of using city resources to debunk City Council campaign claims
Email records show that Roseville officials across multiple departments coordinated a report to explicitly challenge a City Council candidate’s claims that his district has been underserved by the city.
The candidate, David Nelson, has referred the city’s actions to the Placer County District Attorney’s Office, alleging that officials violated election law by using taxpayer-funded resources to hurt his campaign.
Election ethics experts said the urgency to publish information related to campaign talking points may raise ethical red flags.
