An apparently nutty result, but no evidence given that it was a nutty judge instead of a nutty California law passed by the nutty California State Legislature that was the cause of it. Certainly Mayor Sanders was engaging in hyperbole by suggesting that anything other than fireworks shows were at risk for now.
From my experience with CEQA, the judge's action was very un-nutty. I suppose Carl thinks that the city of La Jolla should be exempt from State laws.
From the article, it looks like the Mayor is the nutty one.
