I, Susan Hunter of the Los Angeles Tenants Union - Hollywood Local, am filing this grievance against Debbie Webhe, a commissioner in DONE; and Roger Davis, PLUM chair for the CHNC. Debbie took over the printing and publishing of an agenda of a special meeting from Roger who didn't stop her. I had already requested the same time and consideration of the developer (Harridge) of the Crossroads development project. The NC was in a unanimous consensus in deciding I was well within my rights to do the presentation and would be granted the same time. The NC does NOT have the legal right to use the special meeting time as a developer showcase, and instead MUST hear the negative impacts a project would have on a community as well. Only allowing themselves and the stakeholders to hear only one side is a direct violation of the Constitution and the Purpose of the NC as stated in their own by-laws.
In violation of the Supreme Court ruling of Leventhal v Vista United School District (973 F.Supp. 951), "More important than the amount of time permitted is that the time limits be administered neutrally and evenhandedly". In Rosenberger v. Rector & Visitors of Univ. of VA, the Supreme Court found "When the government targets not subject matter but particular views taken by speakers on a subject, the violation of the First Amendment is all the more blatant. Viewpoint discrimination is thus an egregious form of content discrimination. The government must abstain from regulating speech when the specific motivating ideology is the rationale for the restriction". Also cited from the NC's own by-laws, "Purpose of Governance - The purpose of the Council is to participate as a body on issues concerning our neighborhood and regarding the governance of the City of Los Angeles ("City") in a TRANSPARENT, INCLUSIVE, COLLABORATIVE, accountable and viable manner". 
By removing me from the agenda, I was made to feel that I was not included. My Freedom of Speech was impeded upon by serial meetings held by Debbie Wehbe and Roger Davis. Even though the  committee as a whole had a unanimous concensus I was to be on the agenda and given equal time for participation, I was not. I was finally allowed to speak at the meeting, but I was given less time than the developer.

For Debbie to use her place of power to tamper with an agenda shows she has no respect for the law or the system she is supposed to uphold. Roger Davis should have stood up and done what the board wanted, not what Debbie wanted. He is making decisions based on her wants and needs, and not that of the community. Both need to be removed.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
