Op-Ed Article on West Hills
In response to economist Benjamin Zycher’s article on the op-ed page Sept. 4, I am glad to see the local controversy in the Valley has finally been exposed to all of Los Angeles. Now my embarrassment is complete!
I live in an area of the county designated Westhills by the county Board of Supervisors back in 1975. This was done to avoid confusion of the various services provided by the city and county. Once I was proud of our community, but now I have been the subject of ridicule due to the hullabaloo over the new West Hills area and its expansion. In her eagerness to please her constituents, Joy Picus overlooked the ramifications of the whole situation. I feel the article written by Zycher really hits the nail on the head!
