To the editor: After the corruption scandal of former Metropolis Councilmember Jose Huizar and the long-winded apology tour of former Councilmember Kevin de León, some District 14 constituents have been hoping that Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, a Metropolis Corridor outsider and a tenants rights legal professional, can be the breath of recent air the district so badly wants.
Certainly one of her first acts, hiring lobbyist Lauren Hodgins as her chief of staff, has simply taken that recent air away.
Whereas Jurado may not have taken marketing campaign contributions from builders, it now seems that builders might be pulling the strings from inside her workplace whereas she is studying how Metropolis Corridor works.
Some would possibly name this a easy mistake from a political novice. However with the historical past of Council District 14, this is also a calculated transfer by builders and different teams to get again to the nice previous days of wheeling and dealing in Northeast L.A.
