LA City Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo removed from committee assignments

Acting Los Angeles City Council President Mitch O'Farrell says he has removed Councilmen Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo from their committee assignments.

In a news conference Monday morning, O'Farrell said there is no news on whether either of the councilmen will resign their seats over their participation in a racially charged, recorded conversation from October 2021 that has already led to the resignation of Nury Martinez from her council seat.

O'Farrell says he hasn't spoken to Councilman Kevin de León since last Tuesday "despite my best efforts," but he is urging him again Monday to resign, and has passed along the message that he should not attend any future council meetings.

Councilman Gil Cedillo will not be attending Tuesday's virtual meeting, O'Farrell added.

1. Kevin De Leon seems to have gone into hiding.

I wonder if he thinks he can wait out the news cycle?

2. This is how to do it. Strip them of assignments and don't

permit their further participation. Kevin De Leon looks like he thinks he can wait it out and collect his money, but this makes it clear he is persona non grata.

LA Times had a great article about his spectacular career fall. He is not an honest broker and it’s all coming out.
