Last night’s Long Beach City Council meeting probably had more reporters per square inch than any council meeting since the Queen Mary came to town in ‘67 (but feel free to substitute your own significant local event here).

As near as I can tell, Cal State Long Beach’s Daily 49er was actually the first paper to get a story out, about the Council’s 8-0 vote last night to re-examine its financial relationship with the 110-year-old Press-Telegram.

Its piece dropped shortly after 9 p.m., online, and here it is. (And yes, District Editor Steve Lowery and I are both ex-49erers.)

In other Long Beach news today, the Los Angeles Times‘ Louis Sahagun revisits the Alamitos Beach apartment complex which is home to nearly a dozen convicted sex offenders.

There’s not much new Long Beach news; Sahagun seems to use our story as color to localize yesterday’s Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting. He writes a good story, though.

Seems the Supes are asking their staff of lawyers to find out whether “state law allows local governments to restrict the housing of sex offenders in neighborhoods,” according to Sahagun.

As you’ll recall, at its Feb. 19 meeting, the Long Beach City Council asked the City Attorney to draft a new ordinance that would prohibit convicted sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a licensed daycare center and limit the number of convicted sex offenders who could live in the same apartment building.
