California: Beverly Hills parking initiative won’t be on ballot
A Beverly Hills initiative that would have mandated two hours of free parking in city lots was ordered removed Tuesday from the ballot by a judge. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ann I. Jones sided with city officials against a group of businesses led by medical office owner G&L Realty Corp. In her ruling, Jones called the voter initiative “impermissibly vague and clearly invalid.” She agreed with officials that the initiative, known as Measure 2P, improperly directs the Beverly Hills City Council to enact legislation, rather than act as an ordinance itself.
