LOS ANGELES — On March 9, the Westminster City Council met until midnight, sparring bitterly about whether local Vietnamese-language YouTube broadcasts were spreading "fake news."
By then, it was too late in the evening to address another item on the agenda: saving the city from bankruptcy.
At another meeting five days later, the council came no closer to moving forward with the renewal of a 1% sales tax or finding some other way to keep the city afloat.
