Sunset Junction festival denied city permits

We'll see if this holds up once people realize it could mean this weekend's Sunset Junction street festival (the 31st annual) has to be cancelled — and start calling Garcetti et al. But the city Board of Public Works voted 3-1 today to deny the permits after hearing complaints and that last year's $256,484 in fees have yet to be paid. Sunset Junction, once a local neighborhood fair, has turned into a big expensive show with a hefty admission charge ($25 on site, less if bought in advance.)
