THIS JUST IN: LA City Councilman Mike Bonin says he won't seek reelection
The recall effort against Councilman Mike Bonin failed to receive enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, the Los Angeles city clerk announced on Tuesday.
Bonin said he'll focus his remaining 10 months on the council"fighting for low-wage workers, renters, seniors, students, bus riders, and the unhoused -- who are being demonized and scapegoated by politicians, media figures and some in our neighborhoods." Bonin co-introduced an April 2017 motion that set the city on a path to ban oil and gas drilling, a first step in the process that resulted in the City Council on Wednesday voting to officially begin the process of banning future oil and gas well and phasing out existing oil drilling sites.
Some constituents expressed frustration after tents returned to the boardwalk months after the operation.
