he Pasadena City Council has voted to captive audience and must weather the abuse.
end the city’s local eviction moratorium. This is a small step in restoring our system of judicial civil authority, but in light of the over-charged political rhetoric that dominates public discussion, it was much more important than most realize.
The fact is that our California state legislature has been working for the past two years to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and its economic repercussions for EVERYONE.
