TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT REGARDING POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
My wife, Laura, and I own a home on Toyopa Drive, which was damaged but not destroyed in the Palisades Fire. As such, we could benefit should post-fire home values increase. In addition, Laura is the long-time volunteer president of the Pacific Palisades Library Association and we are both partial to the importance of rebuilding the Palisades Library.
