CA Coastal Commissioners Vote 7-5 To Dismiss Executive Director

"In a 7-5 vote, the California Coastal Commission on Wednesday dismissed embattled executive director Charles Lester.

The vote came after more than seven hours of testimony from Lester and public comment that overwhelmingly opposed dismissing him. Hundreds of people from all over California waited all day at the public hearing in Morro Bay to hear his fate.

The move to oust the Lester set off a fierce debate over the future of the Coastal Commission, which is responsible for policing and shaping land uses along the coast to reduce their environmental impacts."

The Los Angeles Times had the story February 10, 2016.
