You have got to feel sorry for the few admitted members of CAN. Last week was a rough one for them. First, at their forum, one of the Council candidates accused Steve Uhring, CAN’s president, of giving questions in advance to two of the candidates. In defense, Uhring said all he did was meet with two of the candidates a few days prior to the forum and went over the issues important to him. His answer wasn’t very reassuring. Next, The Malibu Times reported that Ozzie Silna, CAN’s main backer, reneged on his pledge to Malibu Urgent Care because they supported Measure M. (I wonder if Ozzie would refuse lifesaving treatment at the Urgent Care facility because he didn’t agree with their politics). The week ended with CAN member and candidate for City Couneil, Jay Liebig, admitting he filed three law suits against the City which cost the City almost $200,000 to defend. He lost all three suits. Jay also filed a fourth law suit siding with the Coastal Commission, the result of which is the City is prevented from issuing permits on new houses. Score one for Jay and the Coastal Commission. If this is the best candidate CAN can come up with, they are in big trouble.
