AIDS Healthcare Foundation has sued L.A. to stop developments vetted under Councilman Jose Huizar or former Councilman Mitchell Englander from moving forward.
Developers allegedly bribed L.A. Councilman Jose Huizar to help get their projects approved. Officials are wrestling with the future of those projects.
Weinstein said his group hadn’t determined how that investigation might occur but said it should be independent and start with projects with community opposition. AHF ultimately wants the court to toss out any city approvals for projects where it is shown that there has been a violation of the state law and the project may not have otherwise been approved.
Rob Wilcox, a spokesman for Los Angeles City Atty. Mike Feuer, said their office would review the complaint and had no further comment Tuesday.involved in the criminal case, but whether the city can legally stop those building plans could depend on a long list of factors, including how far along developers are in the building process and what kind of approvals they have obtained.
Four downtown Los Angeles projects have been mentioned in the Huizar indictment as being tied to alleged bribery schemes. Real estate developers behind those projects have not been publicly charged or even named in the federal case; The Times and other media outlets have identified them based on key details included in the criminal complaint and indictment.
