CA Coastal Commission: Appellate Ruling Not Fatal

31 January 2003 - 1:00pm

Commissioner and gubernatorial appointee Cynthia McClain-Hill discusses the recent turmoil regarding the structure of the CA Coastal Commission.

An appellate court judge recently found that the California Coastal Commission was unconstitutional in its structure because its legislative appointees have no specified term or term limits. As a result of this ruling, the Legislature is scrambling to decide on whether to file an appeal and/or restructure the constitution of the Commission. TPR is pleased to present this interview with Cynthia McClain-Hill, a member of the Coastal Commission and appointed by the governor, in which she addresses the recent legal action concerning the state of the Commission as a body and the Commissions business.
