CORRECTION In the Aug. 7 edition, Santa Monica Police Chief James T. Butts Jr. was misquoted in a community profile about him. Regarding his upbringing, he said for people in the North Carolina town where his father grew up, the biggest aspiration would be to go to a nearby city and work in the “saw mills.” ALSO, In the Aug. 5-6 edition, it was inaccurately reported that Santa Monicans For Renters Rights have no spending limits in campaigns. As a general purpose committee, it is subject to campaign finance restrictions of $250 per contribution.
