Will the LA County Supervisors grow a backbone???

Troy Anderson at LA Daily News

Well, if one is waiting for the Supervisors to do the right thing, then no we will never see them grow a backbone because standing up for the County is difficult.

On the other hand, if they enjoy the perks of being a Supervisor, they may have no choice but to grow a backbone if they want to keep jobs.

The people the Supervisors work for (the citizens of Los Angeles) seem to think if one doesn't stand up to bullies (and that is what the ALCU is in this case) there is no end to what the bully will demand.

As for the legal costs, well four public interest law firms have said they will fight for the County for free. Its a principle thing.

The family of the artist who created the LA County Seal may not allow the County to modify the design so the County would have to design an entire new seal.

While the ACLU is saying the law is on their side, they were expecting a quick victory (like the City of Redlands who did change their seal after the ACLU said change it or they would sue) and not expecting the citizens to hear about it and say no.
