Some comments made recently by a local elected official and top administrator in a local government agency indicate a deep lack of understanding about some basic state laws and a key facet of local government: You are doing the people’s business.
A member of the Ojai Unified school board and our superintendent indicated in two separate written formats (social media and in email) that the school board never in the past accepted written public comments during Ojai Unified School District school board public meetings. When the Ojai Valley News ran an editorial on this topic on July 16 (“A written public comment school board can’t ignore”), they doubled down and dug in. Some members of the public wrote in support of the statements, indicating they, too, didn’t understand the “sunshine” and open-meeting laws that govern all elected bodies in California.

Lawyers for the landlord at the Civic Center Plaza filed an unlawful detainer lawsuit Tuesday against the city of San Diego, raising the stakes in an escalating conflict over a pair of lease-purchase agreements signed years ago by both parties.
An unlawful detainer is a legal way for a landlord to evict a tenant. It is often used in cases when rent or lease payments are not being paid.
This legal maneuver comes one month after City Attorney Mara Elliott announced she was seeking to void the city’s 2015 Civic Center Plaza deal and a similar agreement for the vacant high rise at 101 Ash St., which has been unusable for all but a few weeks since the city leased that property in 2017.
