Los Angeles Councilman Richard Alarcón has rasied about $9,000 to defend himself against possible charges that he's been living outside of his council district, Neon Tommy reports.
*Update: Paresh Dave at Neon Tommy reports that a person claiming to be a member of the L.A. County grand jury investigating Alarcón has posted on Craigslist to say the councilman will be indicted. Divulging grand jury deliberations is a criminal offense, so if this is true, the juror could be in trouble - and so could the integrity of case against Alarcón.

Judges says LA City Council might have violated law
On Monday, a judge tentatively ruled that the Los Angeles City Council had violated the state's open meeting laws when it approved plans for a huge mall in South Los Angeles.
Essentially, the judge found the vote came without ample warning to the public - something that happens often as the council relies on "special meetings" for routine business.
If the judge holds to his initial ruling, the council would likely have to put the project back on the agenda and hold another vote.
