It’s not the first time San Diego has faced accusations of violating public transparency laws.
People testify during public comment on the city’s homeless encampment ban before the San Diego City Council on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. At a San Diego City Council meeting this summer, the chamber was a sea of navy blue from the early morning hours. Swaths of the city’s police force had arrived en masse. Even Mayor Todd Gloria showed up.
That drew the ire of a group of community members who suggested the council was violating the Brown Act, California’s open meetings law. Former state Assemblymember Lori Saldaña, one of those barred from commenting, later threatened to sue the city. Nearing the end of the day, only a few people remained in the queue for public comment. But among those left, one message was consistently brought forth:
The city is now fighting another lawsuit, filed in 2022, by a group that says it “suffered interference or reprisal” by officials during public comment sessions. Among those represented by the plaintiff was Saldaña.
