Despite Redistricting Conflict Tied To Toluca Lake, It's Business as Usual at Tuesday's GTLNC Meeting

GTLNC's President, Andrew Westall, who is also the executive director of the L.A. City Council Redistricting Commission, was not present at last night's meeting. Vice-President Ryan Altoon presided.

Citywide Ballot Wrap-Up: City Council Incumbents, Measures L and M Win

Voters support two of three measures to help ease the city's budget crisis, and send incumbents back to City Hall.

On Tuesday's citywide ballot Los Angeles voters approved all but one of nine measures, backed incumbent City Council members and an outgoing incumbent's anointed successor, and chose new and incumbent LAUSD and community college board candidates. In addition to Measure L, which would increase the amount of funding set aside for public libraries, voters also backed attempts to reform the city's expensive pension system and tax marijuana sales. The measures reflected the city's $400-million budget deficit and attempts to trim it via the ballot box.
