WHY DOES THE MALIBU COUNCIL MAJORITY BOW TO REVA? ... WHY DOES THE MALIBU COUNCIL MAJORITY BOW TO REVA? The farce Malibu City Council has become in the majority’s defense of despotic and devious City Manager Reva Feldman raises serious questions concerning the motives of Mikke Pierson, Karen Farrer and Paul Grisanti. What indeed prompts the willful three to continually thwart a clarion call however shrill by concerned residents for transparency and accountability, accompanied by an independent review of City Hall by a qualified independent management firm, along with a citizen’s oversight task force? As a skeptical journalist who also has been involved in some exacting public investigations, I have to speculate whether some ethical issues are raised in their relationships to the wily City Manager.
