Grassroots Coalition For Full Disclosure of Public Health & Safety Issues 11924 W. Washington Boulevard - Los Angeles, CA 90066 - 310 636-3518 - Fax 310 636-3501 On this website's front page is a full-page advertisement for publication in the Los Angeles Times. The ad demands that Los Angeles City Attorney, Rocky Delgadillo, address the issue of potential taxpayer liability associated with the city's approval of this high-density housing development on one of the most dangerous gas seeps in the country. If councilman Nate Holden was correct when he raised this issue in a city council meeting two years ago, and there is a deadly explosion and fire at Playa Vista due to the failure of one of the experimental gas mitigation systems, the taxpayers of the city could face hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. An award of such magnitude could seriously compromise the city's ability to provide basic services such as police and fire protection, road maintenance etc. If, as it appears, the Playa Vista developers have insulated themselves from future financial liability, they will have in effect transferred this liability to others while reaping their millions of dollars in profits. To date, either through ignorance or sloth or the influence of the millions of dollars the developers have spent on campaign contributions and lobbying, our city officials have done nothing to protect us from this happening. Now the city council is poised to approve even more construction on this dangerous site which will further add to the liability councilman Holden warned us about. Unfortunately, most of the residents of Los Angeles know nothing about this. Informing taxpayers is the purpose of the ad. It will be seen by millions of people. It could have a major impact on the city council's vote on Phase Two of Playa Vista. Please send your tax-deductible contribution to Grassroots Coalition 11924 W.
