Lynwood Ca Ordinances

Assemblyman Terry B. Friedman (D-Los Angeles) joined the widening legislative war against malathion spraying Wednesday, announcing a proposal to "hold hostage" $6 million in funds earmarked for the Department of Food and Agriculture until its eradication program is stopped. "Some say we should hold the entire Food and Agriculture budget hostage," said Friedman, a member of the Ways and Means Committee. "Well, we're going to start in a reasonable way."

The City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday regulating the sale and possession of aerosol spray-paint, thick-tipped markers and glass-cutting and etching tools. The law, intended to curb graffiti, takes effect Aug. 1. It is similar to ordinances passed by cities throughout the Southeast area. The law will require store owners to keep the items in locked cabinets or in store areas that are inaccessible without employee help.

The cities of Carson and Lynwood became the third and fourth municipalities in Los Angeles County to outlaw semi-automatic "assault weapons," including the AK-47 assault rifle that was used to kill five schoolchildren and injure more than two dozen others in Stockton last month.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Yaffe issued a court order Monday stopping the cities of Azusa, Lynwood and Pasadena from enforcing ordinances designed to stop aerial malathion spraying by banning low-altitude formation flying. Yaffe granted a request from the state for a preliminary injunction, saying that local ordinances cannot restrict the state during emergency eradication programs, such as the one developed for the 11-month-old Medfly infestation in Southern California.
