At last night’s Santa Monica City Council meeting I spoke during public comment about what should be done about the Hump’s egregious and illegal serving of endangered whale meat.
Santa Monica City Attorney Marsha Moutrie responded that her office will investigate the illegality of The Hump’s actions at a restaurant located on city property at the airport.
The standard lease clause allows the city to terminate a lease in the event that the owners commit a crime, Moutrie said. Also, the city can revoke a business license for illegal activity.
Moutrie promised to come back to the city council with the results of the office investigation by the next council meeting in two weeks.

I was listening to the meeting on the radio last night, and this came as news to me. How disappointing and reprehensible it is that this restaurant would do such a thing. Thanks for engaging the council and the community in last night’s public forum so we could all be informed. (And thanks for staying late at that meeting!)
