Beverly Hills voters appear to reject world's richest man's Rodeo Drive hotel project [Los Angeles Times]

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% :John Mirisch, the only council member to oppose the project, said he was "a bit shocked and speechless" Friday afternoon, adding that it was "as if the Houston Astros, trash cans and all ... lost to the Beverly Hills high school JV baseball team."He characterized the apparent results as "a major victory for Beverly Hills -- that is, Beverly Hills the community, not the 'brand.'"Proponents argued that the Cheval Blanc hotel would have brought in hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue over the next three decades.
