Accountability
Leticia Quezada’s attempt to distance herself from the Los Angeles School Board on the $250,000 public relations expenditure issue is understandable, since she is running for Congress (letter, May 22). But The Times’ May 16 editorial dealt with the bigger picture, which she fails to acknowledge, and that is the failure of many elected officials, including the Los Angeles School Board, to act responsibly, now and in the past.
If she cares about those of us who elect persons to deal with the school crisis, she should stop advocating non-citizens and illegal aliens’ right to vote in certain elections. The Times is right about the power of symbolism, and Quezada’s actions symbolize the continuing arrogance and abuses of power.
