An appellate court judge recently found that the California Coastal Commission was unconstitutional in its structure because its legislative appointees have no specified term or term limits. As a result of this ruling, the Legislature is scrambling to decide on whether to file an appeal and/or restructure the constitution of the Commission. TPR is pleased to present this interview with Cynthia McClain-Hill, a member of the Coastal Commission and appointed by the governor, in which she addresses the recent legal action concerning the state of the Commission as a body and the Commissions business.
