14. Looking to the Future Resolution:
The Green Party of LA County Council is committed to future growth of the
Party. We
are not interested in dealing any further with the Mike Feinstein issues
of the past. No one may act on behalf of the Council to put these old issues
back on the table. We realize this has caused a lot of pain and conflict
within the Council, and we want to put our differences behind us and move
forward in a positive way.
