The California Coastal Commission -- the state agency that regulates coastal development -- has been in the spotlight lately. In February, the Commission fired its executive director Charles Lester. Environmentalists and coastal access advocates cried foul, claiming the agency was cozying up to developers. The Commission said it was a management issue. Now, the Coastal Commission is under fire again, this time for its ex-parte conversations, where commissioners talk privately with stakeholders. We talk with environmental reporter Molly Peterson.
