Acting Los Angeles City Council President Mitch O’ Farrell announced this morning that he is “removing councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León from their committee chairmanships as well as from committee assignments.” O’Farrell said that council rules stipulate that “council members must remain on one committee.” He said his office is “ironing out these details and will provide full communication to my colleagues later today.” The pressure is growing on the duo to resign from office after former council president Nury Martinez stepped down last week amid the furor over the comments she made on a leaked audio of a conversation with de León, Cedillo and a top labor official.
O’Farrell said today that there is “no new news” about their possible resignations. A chorus of top Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have called on the other two other council members, Kevin de Leon and Gil Cedillo, to also exit.
O’Farrell said he hasn’t spoken to Councilman Kevin de León since last Tuesday “despite my best efforts,” but he is urging him again today to resign, and has passed along the message that he should not attend any future council meetings.
Councilman Gil Cedillo will not be attending tomorrow’s virtual meeting, O’Farrell says. The announcement comes ahead of the regularly scheduled council meeting each Tuesday.
