Parks drops effort to evict group

Apparently stung by local criticism, Councilman Bernard Parks has apprentlt droped hie effort to evict th SCOPE program from a city-owned building.
Parks had written to the city's General Services Department asking for the eviction, complaining they were using the site to campaign for his opponent, Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas, for the Board of Supervisors.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stepped in to block the eviction, saying it needed to be approved by the full City Council
Now, the Liberty Hill Foundation says that Parks has dropped the effort and will not ask the council to evict the group.
