[PICTURED: Kept his appearance covered up and hidden behind unkempt beard, dark glasses and knit cap for years, so his message didn't get lost in his good looks. But the neighbors were getting scared, so he gave 'em a break.]I turned on the Los Angeles City Council meeting, yesterday, for some good daytime television comedy, and a HUGE ONE unfolded before my eyes, on LIVE TV. First of all, it was about the Brown Act and how it applies (or doesn't apply) to L.A. City Council AD HOC Committee meetings. I tweeted the outrageously hilarious comments of AlarCON and Cardenas as they were being uttered. Along with how POORLY Dennis Zine ran the item. (BLOWING IT ENTIRELY, ACTUALLY, as will also unfold.) And you had councilmembers getting a little contentious with one and other for the first time, that I have seen, in my five year history. Here are the tweets as they went down. The end of the VOTE did turn into a confusing mess, and ZD says a COMPLETE VIOLATION. (And listen how many times the fact that Janice Hahn was in a hurry to leave, caused the council to rush through this important item. The council president had to remind council, a few times, and the other members mentioned the pressure of being rushed cause of Janice Hahn. WAY TO GO, "CON" HAHN!)
This entire 1 hour 5 minute item is compelling all the way through, except when they jumped to a couple other items WITHIN this item. (But you can scroll through that brief part.) AUDIO: Brown Act During Ad Hoc Meetings
