Rushed and Confused L.A. City Council

Library, weed, DWP measures aimed for ballot all get short shrift

Major players in the public library system support it, but are waiting to see the final wording. Says Librarians' Guild Vice President Verdel Flores, "We're very hopeful."

L.A. Public Library Spokesman Peter Persic says the measure is voter-friendly because "it would not create a new tax." If it is passed by voters next year, libraries would open six days a week citywide, and the Central Library and larger regional libraries would open daily.

Also contributing to this story were Simone Wilson and Jill Stewart.
