A few of you lucky readers out there are going to get a chance to vote in next week’s special election to select the successor to the late John Ferraro, longtime City Council president and, for well over a generation, representative of Los Angeles‘ 4th Council District. Go to it!Last week, this newspaper encouraged an idealistic vote for Denise Munro Robb and backed David Roberti among the more mainstream candidates. Harold Meyerson, in a dissenting opinion, supported Beth Garfield. I suggest, counterintuitively to the Wisdom of This Generation Here, that 4th District voters throw their support behind Roberti, the most experienced politician in this race. Even if he is one of those folks that we progressives are sometimes inclined to call old party hacks.
