With over 2,000 state legislative bills introduced annually, it’s quasi-impossible for one person to keep track of all of them, according to Beverly Hills Policy and Management Analyst Cynthia Owens. That’s where the City’s Legislative Platform comes in. The platform provides Beverly Hills’ lobbyists the ability to know how the Council thinks on a variety of issues.
“We want to make sure that our residents are being represented as well as our businesses,” Deputy City Manager Gabriella Yap told the Courier. “It’s the voice that the City has to give input on the legislation.”
