Assembly speaker asks for more nominations to California Coastal Commission; no appointment expected this week

From the Silicon Valley Mercury News:

Assembly Speaker Karen Bass is asking for additional nominations for the Central Coast seat on the powerful California Coastal Commission.

A handful of names have already been submitted, including that of incumbent Dave Potter, but the speaker’s office said Wednesday that soliciting more bids would push forward the deadline for a final decision, something that needed to be done because of her office’s preoccupation with budget matters.

“By no means does this mean she’s unhappy with the current nominations,” said Shannon Murphy, a spokesperson for Bass, D-Los Angeles. “The speaker’s been consumed with budget negotiations.”

Bass had been due to select an appointee by this week. Her request for more nominations gives her an additional 75 days.
