Jane Harman
Your endorsement of Steve Kuykendall over Jane Harman for Congress has to be the most bizarre paragraph I have ever read in a Times editorial (Oct. 22). We are urged to support Kuykendall because he supports gun control and abortion rights (doesn’t Harman support those too?); Harman “forfeited” her seat to run for higher office (since when is this a mortal sin?); and Harman has a stronger position on some national issues (implying that she doesn’t on local issues?).
On the biggest local issue, Harman has the stronger position--no on Los Angeles International Airport expansion; she agrees with a recent economic study conducted for the Southern California Assn. of Governments, which concludes that a regional plan is the best approach for the communities surrounding LAX.
