Coastal Commission chief defends his record as panel moves to fire him
The embattled head of the California Coastal Commission is defending his record in his first public comments since members of the panel launched an effort to fire him from the powerful land-use agency.
In a memo, Executive Director Charles Lester offers a defense of the agency’s work to protect public access and the environment, prepare for climate change and review development projects up and down the coast.
“My vision has been clear and incisive, and that my performance and accomplishments in the administration of the coastal program have been exceptionally strong,” Lester wrote in the 20-page document, which includes a detailed list of accomplishments during his four-year tenure and a copy of his curriculum vitae.
Lester also appealed to the people of California to weigh in on his possible termination at a hearing scheduled for next week.
