    November 7, 2018 -- Santa Monica City Councilmember Pam O'Connor lost her bid for a record seventh four-year term on Tuesday, while a measure to impose Council term limits won in a surprising landslide.

    O'Connor, a pro-growth member of the Council since 1994, finished a distant fourth in the race for two open Council seats with 7,385 votes. She becomes the third incumbent to lose a bid for re-election in the past quarter century.

    November 7, 2018 -- Development may not have been a hot-button issue on Tuesday's Santa Monica ballot, but it was a determining factor in the race for three City Council seats and the resounding support for term limits.

    Councilmember Sue Himmelrich, the staunchest slow-growth advocate on the Council, easily topped the ballot, while Pam O'Connor, a longtime champion of development, finished a distant fourth.

    More than 50 apartment units in two new buildings could be coming to Mid-City Santa Monica.

    The Architectural Review Board will decide whether to approve plans for a two-story, four-unit multi-family building and a three-story building containing 50 apartments and retail and restaurant space. The proposed developments would be located just a few blocks from each other, at 3004 Broadway and 2822 Santa Monica Boulevard, respectively.

    November 2, 2018 -- A rag-tag army of school parents and neighborhood activists is mounting a last-ditch effort to oppose a record $485 million school facilities bond on Tuesday's ballot.

    Opponents of Measure SMS argue that there was no public debate before the School Board placed the bond on the ballot in July and that there is no fixed list of projects it will fund. They think the bond should instead be placed on the 2020 ballot.

    Santa Monica voters have lots of choices for filling three city council seats up for grabs on Tuesday: stick with popular incumbents, opt for some fresh faces with established track records in civic affairs, change course with challengers who want to get tough on crime and the homeless, or any mix thereof.

    California has an ambitious goal (SB100) of getting all the electricity for the entire state from renewable energy sources by 2045. The mandated incremental steps are 50 percent by 2026 and 60 percent by 2030. Currently, California gets about 27 percent of our electricity from renewable sources

    Last week the City Council wisely took another important baby step toward NZE for the City by allowing it to shop for energy providers that will charge different rates for power with varying amounts of renewable content in their electricity flow. By paying 7-9 percent extra the City’s 48,000 residential customers and 8300 commercial customers can select getting their energy from 100 percent renewable sources, or for slightly less cost a 50 percent or a 36 percent renewable content. Because 100 percent will be the default number, unless you explicitly opt out, more people will pay the surcharge and treat it as an increased utility expense.
