Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters Endorse Weissman
Two respected environmental groups, the Sierra Club and the Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters, this week declared their support for Andy Weissman, the most experienced City Council candidate in a nine-person field for the April 8 election.
Each cited Mr. Weissman’s commitment to the environment and his advocacy of green building standards in supporting his candidacy.
“We need to take seriously our role as a city in reducing our environmental footprint,” he said, “when it comes to everything from recycling and reusing waste to requiring buildings to be built to the highest environmental standards.”
