LOS ANGELES : Woo Urges Steps to Make Council More Accessible
Los Angeles City Councilman Michael Woo proposed a series of steps Tuesday to make the council more “user-friendly,” including a requirement that one of its three meetings each week be held in the San Fernando Valley.
Woo, a six-year council veteran now running for mayor, charged at a news conference at the Van Nuys municipal building that city government is often inaccessible, its regimen convenient to politicians, bureaucrats, lobbyists and gadflies but not to working people.
Under Woo’s plan, the council would also allow people to testify by phone from their own homes and would hold one night meeting each week.
