A three-member Los Altos City Council majority agreed last week to intervene in the ongoing dispute surrounding an Asian-American council member and a young Black activist. Members plan to place the issue on the agenda at the council meeting scheduled next Tuesday.
Toward the end of the council’s May 11 meeting, Councilmember Sally Meadows suggested the need “to come up with a solution for this council and the public … to get our community back together.”
Meadows told the Town Crier last week her understanding is that Mayor Neysa Fligor and Councilmember Jonathan Weinberg would work on the specifics of the discussion and agendize it for Tuesday’s meeting.

One of America s most gruesome crimes has resurfaced as the man guilty of committing it prepares to escape an equally gruesome fate capital execution.
Anthony Juniper has been on death row in the state of Virginia since he was sentenced in 2011 over the 2004 murders of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Keshia Stephens; Keshia s younger brother Rueben; and her two daughters, Nykia, 4, and Shearyia, 2.
One of the little girls was in her mother s arms when Juniper, then in his early 30s, stormed into her home and carried out the jealousy-fuelled murders.
Public confronts Los Altos council member on claims of threats during meeting Written by Eric He
Los Altos City Councilwoman Lynette Lee Eng faced direct criticism during this week’s council meeting from several public speakers who believed she falsely claimed to have been threatened by a member of Justice Vanguard, a local racial justice organization, in a council meeting last month.

The public comment session on nonagendized items at the Tuesday s (Dec. 15) meeting turned into a 30-minute back-and-forth, as others later called in to defend Lee Eng.
The issue stemmed from the Nov. 24 council meeting, after Lee Eng didn’t support adding a third-party auditor to take in complaints against the police department. She then claimed she had received threatening messages from members of Justice Vanguard that caused her to be concerned for her and her family’s safety.
