Apparently the petitioners are not giving up.
Despite the Downtown Long Beach Associates board giving its President and CEO Kraig Kojian "a vote of confidence" at a special closed meeting Friday --- oh, to be a fly on THAT wall --- efforts to boot Kojian are apparently alive and well.
Got sent a link to this Web site, www.savelongbeach.com, an effort to grow the petitions of 32 downtown business owners and 80 residents who say they are fed up with Kojian's "dismissive" and "uncooperative" management style. Supporters of Kojian say he is not to blame for the state of downtown and serves at the pleasure of the board. (Check out my stories about the delivery of the petitions here and the DLBA's board's response to the petitions here.)
