Malibu just took an enormous step backwards in being an environmental leader in California.
The city council last night rejected moving everyone in the city into a 100 percent renewable electric power supply. At least … a default of all-renewable electric power supply. Details: https://www.radiomalibu.net/malibu-abandons-100percent/
Southern California Edison officials appeared before an unhappy Malibu city council last night. And the beleaguered power company changes its story … again … over whether it issued warnings to the city that it would shut off power intentionally to the city. A company spokesman tells KBUU … they simply blew the forecast.

Balloon industry representatives … balloon artists … and balloon retailers from across Southern California descended on Malibu City Hall last night.
From as far away as Newport beach.
Their goal: derail a proposal in the Malibu City Council to ban balloon sales in Malibu.
And … they succeeded … somewhat.
The ordinance was sent back for more research … to possibly exempt the sales of balloons if they are 100 percent biodegradable.

In news on the Round Up front ….
A San Francisco judge on Monday drastically reduced the damages award that a jury decided Monsanto had to pay a former school groundskeeper who contracted cancer after spraying the popular weed killer Roundup for years.
the judge reduced the award from $289 million to to $78.5 million … according to th Sna Francisco Chronicle.
Jurors actually showed up. this was despite an extraordinary lobbying effort by jurors to persuade the judge to maintain their original ruling.
Round up … is a weed killer … it is banned for sale in Malibu.
And the city prohibits using its use on public property.
But private property owners may buy it elsewhere … and state law prohibits Malibu from making it illegal to use here.
Dewayne “Lee” Johnson of Vallejo was a groundskeeper. His job included spraying Monsanto’s herbicide glyphosate from 50-gallon drums 20 to 30 times a year for two to three hours a day. He got terminal cancer.
