After opponents couldn't get enough signatures to propose a ban on marijuana, El Monte has started the application process to get cannabis in the city.
Opponents accused the mayor and his allies of 'bulldozing' the ordinance through. Meanwhile, a related tax initiative will be headed to voters in March and November.
FEAH alleges former mayor Andre Quintero, prior to losing his re-election in November, told the company's owners that "he knew that some individuals working for the city took money to influence the result of the applications, but he could not say who."
El Monte is joining the city and county of Los Angeles in introducing a guaranteed income pilot program, which will provide $500 per month to 125 eligible participants for one year, city officials announced today.
