California: Los Angeles City Councilman facing recall, partly over Marilyn Monore's old home

Councilman Paul Krekorian, who represents neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley, is facing a petition over his approval of zoneing changes and exemptions for real estate projects.  The issue seeems to be the building of high rises.

One of the specific issues was the demolition of a house that Marilyn Monroe once lived in.


Petitioners would need more than 18,000 signatures (15% of registereds) and the City Clerk claims the recall would cost $1.7 million.

Krekorian won reelection last year with over 75%.
