McNutt

McNutt’s analysis of this bizarre and poorly handled situation is worth reading, especially this part: “Put simply, it is a press release from an alternate dimension where the Vulture story was never published. I know of at least one critic whose review is quoted in the release who would absolutely not co-sign this decision, and I have to imagine that others feel the same way.”

Michele McNutt, a former Democrat who just changed her party registration to no-party-preference, said she was not satisfied with the staffer’s answers and called the bill “performative.”

“If it fails, they can frame it as, ‘California hates parents,’” said McNutt, whose two teenage daughters are student athletes in the Capistrano Unified School District.

McNutt said in a statement that a number of services will be available to Hollywood Arts Collective residents starting in 2025.

McNutt added that the fund is working with the city to begin construction on the Rita Moreno Arts Building — a structure next to the apartment complex with a 71-seat theater to be rented for rehearsals, performances, film screenings and other purposes.
