L.A. power struggle

A Los Angeles official is waging a battle against the City of Vernon and its plans to build a 914-megawatt power plant.
Councilman Jose Huizar is planning a mock funeral procession tonight
from the Boyle Heights area of his district to Vernon to bring attention to the proposal and mount an effort to block the plan.
Huizar said he hopes to have more than 200 residents join him to protest what he said will lead to increased toxic emissions that will impact his district.
The councilman sai the plan will add 881 tons of pollutants that will affect Boyle Heights and Huntington Park.
