Bianco said one of his top priorities as governor would be to kill the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA. He\u2019d also get rid of the Coastal Commission and the California Air Resources Board.\u00a0 Those are some of the state\u2019s bedrock environmental protections.
\u201cThose are the issues that cause our cost of living to go up,\u201d Bianco said.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles World Cup host committee has quietly posted its guidance on human rights after months of speculation over where the plan was and when it would be published.<\/p>\n
Advocates had pushed the committee, an arm of the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission, to produce its plan. But now that it\u2019s out, they\u2019re not satisfied with what they\u2019re seeing.<\/p>\n
The human rights guidance\u00a0is required by FIFA<\/a>\u00a0and outlined on\u00a0the host committee\u2019s website<\/a>. It includes a list of online resources including where to file complaints with various local and state level agencies and a summary of local, state and federal laws protecting human and civil rights. The committee is also touting a partnership with L.A. County in which people can\u00a0call 211 to report a concern during the tournament<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cLos Angeles is weeks away from hosting one of the largest sporting events in the world, and yet what has been posted is not a plan,\u201d Stephanie Richard, director of the Sunita Jain Anti\u2011Trafficking Initiative at Loyola Law School, said in a statement. \u201cIt is a list of laws and hotline numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n
