LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council canceled its Friday, Oct. 14, meeting, with Acting Council President Mitch O'Farrell saying on Oct. 13 the “people’s business cannot be conducted” until Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo resign their council seats.
The two councilors were included in a recorded October 2021 conversation in which racially disparaging statements were made as four officials discussed the city’s redistricting process. Nury Martinez, the former council president, and Ron Herrera, who was president of the L.A. County Federation of Labor, have both already resigned following the release of the recording.
