OPPOSED: Palmdale’s Pete Knight opposes same-sex marriages, but the Los Angeles City Council begs to differ. On a 10-1 vote Friday, the council passed a motion to fight Knight’s state Assembly bill. The measure would prevent California from recognizing such marriages. . . . “When the gay and lesbian community is attacked in this way, all of us are diminished,” said sponsoring Councilman Mike Feuer.

HOT RODS: L.A.’s supervisors, meanwhile, have a plan to protect the county’s northern reaches. The problem: a bill in Congress that would send radioactive nuclear fuel rods rolling through the Antelope Valley on trains headed for Nevada--for 30 years. . . . “This is a bad idea,” says Supervisor Mike Antonovich, who represents the area. And now the full board opposes it.
