In this exclusive TPR interview, LA City Council President Nury Martinez, responding to the deep-pocketed pay-to-play corruption scandal encircling Los Angeles City Hall and disgraced Councilmembers Jose Huizar and Mitchell Englander, elaborates on the three motions she just introduced—just months before this November’s Council elections—to increase transparency of the city’s entitlement and development review process. Her intent, she asserts, is to begin to address the considerable erosion of public trust in City Hall. President Martinez further shares her commitment both to keeping Angelenos housed during the COVID public health and economic crises and to opposing one-size-fits all housing solutions currently under consideration by the California Assembly.
