LA City Council asks City Attorney Feuer to report back on whether they can remove councilmembers de Leon and Cedillo.
As Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo continue to resist calls to resign over their roles in the City Hall racism scandal, the Los Angeles City Council voted 10-0 on Wednesday, Nov. 2, to seek clarification of what signifies that a council member has vacated his or her office.
The city council has also voted unanimously to censure both councilmen, who have been stripped of most of their committee assignments. The council also sought instruction on the consequences of not allowing censured council members to participate in council and committee meetings, and whether “threats and intimidation to duly elected council members qualifies as a permitted absence.”
Fewer than 10 protesters demanded that de León and Cedillo resign before they were removed from the council meeting, as Krekorian again moved quickly to eject a few people who began shouting as the council meeting began.
