A NOTE FROM RON KAYE: As honorary chairman of the Saving L.A. Project, I am going down to City Hall on Wednesday to object to the City Council going behind closed doors to discuss in private what is nothiing but a political fight between Controller Laura Chick and City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. I hope others will join me in the council chambers to protest this unlawful closed door meeting that is nothing but a slap in the public's face

Which brings us to Item 15 on Wednesday's calendar. The council, refreshed from two week of vacation including party time in Denver for many of them takes up the motion behind closed doors about how to make this political issue go away by pretending it's a legal issue.
There is no excuse for a closed door meeting except for the cowardice of the council to stay up in public and say what they mean.
This is a council that engineers unanimous votes with back room deals, routinely squelches debate on public controversies, inflicts rules for public meetings on neighborhood councils that don't obey themselves and refuses to listen to or listen to the public's concerns while pandering to special interests who keep them jobs that are better than anything they could earn in the public sector.
That's why I'm going down to City Hall on Wednesday to challenge the legality of going behind closed doors.

California lawmakers are set to approve a first-in-the-nation bill that would require cities and counties to account for the effects of global warming in planning local housing developments. The goal is to help California meet the emission mandates spelled out in its wide-ranging greenhouse gas reduction law passed two years ago. At the same time, the bill will encourage housing to be built closer to where people work and shop.
