Los Angeles City Council meeting canceled amid pressure for 2 members to resign in leaked recording fallout
foxnews.comFriday's scheduled Los Angeles City Council meeting has been canceled as pressure continues to mount for two council members to resign after they were heard on a leaked audio recording making racist statements.
Acting Council President Mitch O’Farrell announced the move Thursday, a day after former council member Nury Martinez resigned.
She stepped down as council president earlier in the week. Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León have apologized for their remarks but have not announced their resignations, despite insistence from a long list of California leaders and President Biden that they leave. "The people's business cannot be conducted until we have these next two resignations," O’Farrell said Thursday. "In the court of public opinion, the verdict has been rendered and they must resign." Ron Herrera, the head of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor who was the fourth person at the meeting, resigned Monday.
