Local News in Brief : Inauguration Cancels Supervisors Meeting
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors canceled its meeting next week because the board’s three-member Republican majority will be attending inaugural festivities for President-elect Bush.
A quorum of the five-member board is needed to convene a meeting. Supervisors Pete Schabarum, Mike Antonovich and Deane Dana will be in Washington on Tuesday, the board’s regular meeting day, for a round of parties and celebrations marking the departure of the Reagan Administration and the start of Bush’s term. The new president’s swearing-in ceremony is Jan. 20.
Board Chairman Ed Edelman and Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, both Democrats, were not invited. The last time the board was unable to muster a quorum was June 14, 1988.
