California: Firefighters back Redondo Beach Councilmember in recall vote

Firefighters seem to have come out for Redondo Beach City Councilmember Zein Obagi Jr. One of the issues against him is a claim that he wants to disband the fire department and contract out with LA (Obagi denies this).

The parent company of Catalyst Cannabis Co. is reported to have spent $309,188 on the recall taking place on October 19, which will also be the same day as a cannabis initiative.

The recall was claimed to be about his support for affordable housing and a homeless pallet shelter in his district, as well as claims of misconduct by the state bar, though Cannabis is clear the big issue, with the leaders pushing to open dispensaries in the city 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 was set to cost $37,000
