The scenario played out in the last Manhattan Beach City Council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 5. Previously, Hadley has pulled the Skechers construction item, when the company asks to be allowed to have construction work continue on city holidays, and did so most recently as Mayor Pro Tem at a City Council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 6. At the time she said, "I don't like exceptions. It smacks of favoritism to me. Everyone should be treated equally in the city of Manhattan Beach."
