California governor candidate under investigation over 1,000lb bear sidekick

John Cox may have violated city law when he brought campaign mascot Tag with him to San Diego

Turns out campaigning across California with a 1,000lb bear is not a foolproof political plan.

John Cox, a candidate vying to replace Gavin Newsom in the state's gubernatorial recall vote, is under investigation for violating a San Diego city law that bans anyone, except zoos, from bringing wild animals - including lions and tigers and bears - into the area.
