At the center of the controversy is the proposed La Terra North 777 Front Street project, which the Burbank City Council unanimously approved last month. The petition seeks to put the brakes on the mixed-use Downtown Burbank project through a referendum ballot measure for the upcoming November general election. This bold move has raised the ire of city officials and the developer. Burbank Fact Sheet Last week, a “Fact Sheet” about the project appeared on... Read More →

Eric Garcetti for mayor sign in Burbank

By on Wednesday, April 3, 2013

Eric Garcetti is caught up in a tight run-off with Wendy Greuel for mayor of Los Angeles.

Burbank candidates forum tomorrow night

By on Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Voters have several chances to check out the candidates before marking their mail -in ballots.  Tomorrow night, Wednesday January 19,  in... Read More →
