Were signatures for the anti-marriage equality initiative acquired under a false assertion?

New developments in the California marriage equality issue have come forth in the last week. The National Center for Lesbian Rights is now arguing that the anti-marriage equality initiative gathered signatures under a false assertion as it claims "no fiscal affect on state or local governments". This assertion is disputed by a recent report from the Williams Institute at UCLA which has calculated that gay marriage will bring $700 million to the state economy over the next three years, and add $63 million in tax revenue.

it would probably do a little effect to some but for some i guess,the thought of being mislead or having a false assertion would create an impact to them, i, for one hate the idea of falling under a false assertion,specially when it talks about peoples rights.
