Los Angeles City Councilman has not attended a Council meeting since Oct. 11 and has refused to resign despite growing calls for him to step down.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE:LA City Councilmember Kevin de Leon says he won't resign from the council, after he was heard making racist comments in a leaked audio. However, fellow council members and community members continue to protest and urge him to resign.de León's refusal to resign"Even though the City Council has called for his resignation, and have stripped him of his committee assignments, Kevin de León has refused to resign," the statement reads.
Pete Brown, de León's communications director, said in a statement in October that the recall effort distorts de León's record and "will not distract the council member or his office from continuing to serve the people of Council District 14. He will keep moving forward important projects and issues that threaten the communities and the lives of his constituents."Cedillo cannot be recalled because there is not enough time before his term expires next week.
Joshua Spivak, a recall expert and senior research fellow at UC Berkeley Law School's California Constitution Center, told CNS previously that "the number one, and really the only thing, is getting those signatures." "That's the key. If you get enough signatures, if you get to the ballot, there's a very good chance of success," Spivak said.that I have read and agree
