Barbra probably won't join them. She has a long-standing development beef with the City of Malibu and its less upscale citizens, all of who hate her plans for a huge house. I believe those plans were eventually approved by both the Coastal Commission and the City of Malibu, which just goes to show what fame and influence will get you.

So no, she doesn't care about the Coastal Commission because she has the influence to prevent it from bothering her.

Same with Perenchio, who is best known among us as not only a Davis supporter, but a Proposition 209 opponent. It happens that the largest basis for his fortune is Spanish language TV programming, and that's obviously threatened by Proposition 209.

But they have little connection to Malibu's middle class, those who have a net worth of under a million or two instead of hundreds of millions of dollars. Those are the people who went to the meeting I attended, the same folks the Coastal Commission wants to exclude from Malibu if at all possible.

Those nice folks are likely to think twice before voting for Davis.
