Councilmembers' risky business
What? “*According to the memo, Lightner's office is working on amending the Rules of Council to allow for councilmembers to speak up on issues to committees and the public without breaking the law”.* So she is amending the Rules of Council to allow councilmembers to ignore the Brown Act? This doesn’t surprise me. In November 2014 she ignored the rules of City Council Policy 600-24 and amended the City approved bylaws of the Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA). She did this to allow the termed-out President of the LJCPA and the Community Planners Committee, Joe La Cava to serve an illegal third term while he ran for her 2016 City Council seat. But if she did this for La Cava in 2014, why hasn’t she endorsed him for City Council in 2016? Gloria and Emerald have endorsed their replacements. Alvarez and Emerald have even endorsed Barbra Bry for Lightner's termed-out 2016 seat. Do you think while she was allegedly communicating behind closed doors with other councilmembers to garner their support for her bid for Council President, she made a deal? If you support me, I will support your candidate in 2016? Sorry La Cava and Bry.— December 2, 2015 3:53 p.m.
