This Time, Private Money and Influence Can't Stop Public Beach Access in Malibu

"With all of the lobbying power and legal power he could afford to buy, in the end, the public's rights prevailed. This should send a signal to other holdouts. We are going after them with equal vigor that we did in Geffen's case." - quote from Peter Douglas, Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission, commenting in reference to music producer David Geffen's longstanding (and ultimately unsuccessful) efforts to block a designated public beach access path near his Malibu mansion.
