Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:56 GMT

The California Coastal Commission in recent years has been ramping up efforts to ensure greater beach access for underserved communities, by baking it in as a requirement when approving new developments or correcting violations, as well as by granting millions for beach-equity initiatives.“Certain communities and populations have been excluded for so long, it’s absolutely essential we make extra effort to make up for that,” said Sarah Christie, the commission’s legislative director. “I think equity demands a greater focus to ensure those communities are fully supported to have the access they’ve deserved all along.”The Coastal Commission, made permanent by the 1976 California Coastal Act, “plans and regulates the use of land and water” along shorelines, along with local communities and other relevant agencies.In Long Beach, for example, the commission has said it’ll support a new beach-side swimming pool only if a bus route brings inner city kids to play and there’s free or discount...

By Katelyn Polantz | CNNAn attorney disciplinary committee has recommended Rudy Giuliani be disbarred in Washington, DC, for his efforts on behalf of then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election results.The committee, which weighs cases of legal ethics and attorney misconduct in the District of Columbia, issued the report and recommendation on Giuliani on Friday following a lawyer misconduct hearing for Giuliani in December that functioned like a trial.“He claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence of it,” the committee wrote. “By prosecuting that destructive case Mr. Giuliani, a sworn officer of the Court, forfeited his right to practice law. He should be disbarred.”The panel’s recommendation is not final; the case against Giuliani still must be considered by DC’s Board on Professional Responsibility and by the DC court of appeals.The committee specifically criticized Giuliani for dishonesty following the 2020 election and what they called “calculated” attempts...
