BREAKING NEWS!! LA Times Endorses Gloria Molina for CD 14

The LA Times lays out its Editorial Endorsement for a Fiscal Conservative, Independent Choice needed at City Hall ......, and in CD 14.

The LA Times Editorial lays out in no uncertain terms, its reasoning.as we excerpt below.

 

Molina, who also served in the Assembly and had one previous term on the City Council, is the best candidate for the job. She is well known for her independence — a characteristic that is sorely lacking in City Hall at the moment. She has never shied away from questioning the status quo or challenging the power structure, though at times she has been more combative than productive. (A county department head once collapsed and had to be hospitalized during one of her grillings.) She was a fierce advocate for her district, developing neighborhood-level solutions in areas that had been long neglected. Molina became far more fiscally conservative after the county neared bankruptcy in the 1990s; her hawkishness on spending and labor demands is one reason the county didn't face the kind of severe budget crisis the city faced during the recession, and didn't have to lay off employees. Los Angeles needs more leaders who can say “no.”

.........., and CD 14 needs to say "YES" to Molina in leading Los Angeles to a better tomorrow.

Your thoughts .................
