Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin was served with a recall notice Tuesday, making him the second progressive council member to be the target of a recall effort in less than a week. This recall campaign is an extravagant waste of taxpayer money, a thinly disguised attempt to derail my efforts to provide real solutions to our homelessness crisis, and the latest in a series of recall attempts to silence strong progressive voices, Bonin said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
