The pertinent portion starts at around 01:40:00. Grab some popcorn and try not to gag when the blue-shirts crank up the BS machine.
The councilwoman Pamela Ulich (@ 01:142:00) and several other council members were in an absolute snit about the California Coastal Commission's recent ruling that banned the use of temporary lighting for the Malibu High football games. She actually stated that it was 'un-American' for an appointed commission to disregard the will of the people in this matter. The hypocrisy was stunning. None of the council members who were bitching about the Coastal Commission could quite understand that the MLPA process is an even greater abomination. What would they have thought if the Coastal Commission hadn't been funded to do its job and some private entity came in and funded it? These council members were pissed that un-elected, appointed commission members would actually overturn the Malibu City council. Can you imagine how they would feel if SDG&E had provided funding for the Coastal Commission? They would have gone ape-shit. I guess that when you are 'saving the oceans' you don't have to worry about little things like legality, facts and common sense.
