Hey @chriswarcraft.bsky.social I think this would be an excellent campaign issue for you: Gracey just voted to allow booze to be sold right next to a playground. Knowing her, the vendor is probably a donor. Anyway, great example of how wrong-headed she is and just how wrong she is for #AD72.
The Huntington Beach City Council votes 5-2 to grant a pair of Conditional Use Permits that would allow the sale of alcohol at the Huntington Beach Sports Complex.

Chad Williams and Andrew Gruel voted no.
