ACLU Executive Director Gets A Positive Nod From Council Sub-Committee

After overcoming the first hurdle, ACLU director Ramona Ripston is now headed toward a full L.A. City Council vote. Ripston was nominated by Mayor Villaraigosa to be a commissioner for the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. The City Council has to approve it.

Today, Ripston was approved by the Council’s Housing, Community, and Economic Development Committee. Councilmembers Garcetti and Reyes voted yes, and Councilmember Parks voted no.

Fellow ACLU associate, Doug Mirell was approved yesterday.
