Councilman’s Ability to Serve
Regarding articles calling for Lindsay to step down due to illness and inability to represent the people of the “Great 9th District,” I find it very necessary to apply this same rationale to Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, whose 2nd Supervisorial District represents 99% of South Central Los Angeles.
It’s now time for the people of the 9th District and the 2nd Supervisorial District to acknowledge the contributions these legends have made in the past, but to recognize their needs for future leadership in districts that are changing everyday with more sophisticated and complex problems.
Hahn and Lindsey, step down and groom leadership for the 1990s and the 21st Century while you still can. It’s the honorable thing to do for a constituency that has remained as loyal as yours. Leave with your honor, dignity and the esteem of those you’ve helped so long.
