Mr. Tom Long served as Rancho Palos Verdes City Council Member from 2003 – 2011, and Rancho Palos Verdes Mayor in 2007 and 2011. He also served in the Planning and View Restoration Committees.
Mr. Long appears to be one of the few who both anticipated and warned about the influence of Mr. Trump and his companies.
Special Interests And Transparency In Government. PVP Watch asserts that only the election of its slate will prevent “special interests” from dominating RPV’s city council. The exact opposite is true. Mrs. Brooks and Mr. Duhovic were recently endorsed by Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich. Before Trutanich became City Attorney, his law firm represented Donald Trump in claims against Rancho Palos Verdes. Trutanich’s law firm also represented a number of parties adverse to the City of Los Angeles that he now serves. One of Susan Brooks’ leading supporters, Councilmember Brian Campbell, has been acting as an agent for the Trump Organization offering donations from it to council candidates. At Campbell’s suggestion Trump has delayed pending applications until after the election. Won’t it be interesting to see how votes on those applications go?
Mr. Long now serves as a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge.
