Election notes

The Los Angeles Greens are not making endorsements for the March 3 election.

We debated Measure B, the proposal to put solar panels on LA City buildings, at our Februrary meeting, but the measure had enough problems that we were deadlocked on whether to endorse it. We like the idea of putting solar panels on LA's public buildings, but we don't like the closed process or centralized nature of this proposal. The proposal also lacks crucial details such as how much it will cost. We hope that whether the measure passes or fails, the City Council will work to encourage decentralized adoptation of solar in Los Angeles.

Also, Alex Walker has withdrawn his candidacy for State Senate (the primary in this special election is set for March 24).
