Council President Paul Krekorian has announced his intention to have Hutt — who had been filling the seat on a temporary basis — appointed by the council to serve out the remainder of the unexpired…
“In a matter of months,” he added, “the people of the district will have the opportunity to decide whether they prefer to elect her or a different representative in the regularly scheduled election. By contrast, a special election, which would cost taxpayers almost $8 million, could result in one person serving through the end of this year, a new person taking over in January, and another person starting a year later.
Krekorian’s comments came in response to a demand by Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, for a special election. “The council must end the effective disenfranchisement and caretaker role it has assigned the thousands of residents of the district since Thomas’ suspension,” Hutchinson said.
“The council has a duty to return representative government to the 10th District — not through an appointee it chooses but a special election that allows the residents, not the City Council, to have a full and total say in who should represent them.” A federal jury on March 30 convicted Ridley-Thomas of bribery and conspiracy charges, along with mail and wire fraud, stemming from his time serving on the county Board of Supervisors and accommodations provided to his son by a then-USC dean. He faces years in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 14.Hutt was temporarily appointed by the council to the seat in September 2022.
