Malibu Is ANEW!

 

As we welcome in a new year, we look back to a historical local election and look forward to the rst of cial City Council meeting with a pro-preservation majority.

The swearing-in of the new council members was historical, much like our local elec- tion. The community showed up to City Hall, just like they did to their local polling stations, to witness Chumash Ceremonial Elder Mati Waiya and his wife
Luhui Isha swear in top vote-getter Rick Mullen. Mullen interviews Waiya for our cover story and talks about the signi cance of why he chose “Malibu’s First People” to help usher in this new era for Malibu.

Mullen, who takes to the dais on Jan. 11th as one of three new council members along with Skylar Peak and Jefferson Wagner, also addresses the political sea change in Malibu’s Council election with Malibu Community Action Network’s Cyn- thia Kesselman.

There are many other signi cant stories impacting Malibu at the start of the new year, some of which we share in this issue, and many more we anticipate to share with you in the future.

Welcome 2017, Malibu is ANEW!

The Current Report Editor in Chief Cece Woods started The Local Malibu, an activism based platform in 2014. The publication was instrumental in the success of pro-preservation ballot measures and seating five top vote-getters in the Malibu City Council elections.

During the summer of 2018, Woods exposed the two-year law enforcement cover-up in the Malibu Creek State Park Shootings, and a few short months later provided the most comprehensive local news coverage during the Woolsey Fire attracting over one million hits across her social media platforms.

Since 2020, Woods was the only journalist reporting on the on-going public corruption involving former L.A. Metro CEO Phil Washington. Woods worked with Political Corruption expert Adam Loew, DC Watchdog organizations and leaders in the Capitol exposing Washington which ultimately led to the withdrawal of his nomination to head the FAA.

Woods also founded Malibu based 90265 Magazine and Cali Mag devoted to the authentic southern California lifestyle.
