Letter to LA Times Editor
Re: Emails Show Greuel Turned Controller’s Office Over to Political Operatives
Dear LA Times Editor,
Mr Maharaj:
This comprehensive political story above I should have been reading in the Los Angeles Times. The story outlines a flagrant alleged violation of state law, using city of Los Angeles taxpayer paid resources, for the campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles.
I have some standing on this issue as a former campaign manager for Zev Yaroslavsky, former Assessor Alex Pope, Councilman Robert Ronka etc. I was investigated by the LA County DA’s office for this same action, as was lucky no action was taken.
We count on your paper, with substantial resources to investigate allegations such as these reported in the Cerritos newspaper. In the remaining three weeks of the mayoral campaign, I would hope the Los Angeles Times will get involved and report this issue to your many thousands of readers in the City of Los Angeles.
Regards, Jack McGrath

In the late 60s and early 70s the trustees were elected by district. The voters changed that. And to Mr. McMahon, who isn’t known for a good relationship with the facts, Gretchen Whitney of ARTESIA was on the board for 20 years, as was (I believe) Bob Elliott. I believe both Vince Marchetti and Carl Rogers (not the butcher) were from Lakewood, and I think George Woodworth (I think that was his last name) lived in HG. Whether at large or by trustee area, Cerritos will remain the largest city and will dominate the board.
