(Los Angeles, CA) – Today, Assembly Member Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement after the South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing Board (SCAQMD) voted down a plan that would have required the Sterigenics facilities in Vernon to implement pollution mitigation measures.
For a moment on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon, Michael Okamura was brought back to his childhood on the Eastside, as Japanese music, dance and taiko drums filled the air on a few blocks of East First Street.
“It truly feels amazing to see so many people out here today celebrating the Japanese history of Boyle Heights, a history my parents were a part of and a history that is too often forgotten,” said Okamura during the celebration of the neighborhood’s first ever Nikkei Celebration.
Officials are calling for the outright closure of a medical equipment sterilization company in Vernon that has been under investigation by the South Coast AQMD for polluting the surrounding community with a dangerous carcinogen.
