There is growing sentiment in the community to call on Mr. Fuentes to resign his legislative seat over the duration of investigations by the Los Angeles Ethics Commission and the Los Angeles County District Attorney - combined with the additional neglect denying the District time and attention normally given to representing the District - now given to attorneys and defense strategies.
Only 16 months ago, after being elected to represent the 39th District, now Los Angeles City Councilmember Richard Alarcon relinquished his Assembly seat after just a few weeks to run for City Council. Community members are weary of having to struggle for representation held hostage by Mr. Fuentes' legislation-authoring developer cronies and his sporadic or diminished representation in Sacramento in these financially and environmentally dire times.
Concerned about the self-aggrandizing musical chair behavior of current office-holders, the electorate will opt to vote for commonly-held grass-root values that I share with the community and elect me to Sacramento.
