The parent company of Catalyst Cannabis Co. is reported to have spent $309,188 on the recall election of Redondo Beach City Councilmember Zein Obagi Jr. The recall is scheduled for October 19, which will also be the same day as a cannabis initiative.
The recall is apparently over his support for affordable housing and a homeless pallet shelter in his district, as well as claims of misconduct by the state bar. Obagi blames Cannabis dealers pushing to open dispensaries in the city for backing the recall ( Petitioners got 2452 valids and needed about 2250.
The special is supposed to cost $270,000 (or $240,000 if explanatory text is online only). If it is on the general election day, it will be $37,000.
Update: Tonya McKenzie is the only candidate in the replacement race.
