GOV LITE RACE: LA Daily News Editorial:
“Janice Hahn has been shamed into scuttling a deal in which she would have played arbitratore”
The Los Angeles Daily News published a critical editorial on February 19th with the title: INVITING TROUBLE concerning actions by California Lt. Governor Candidate Janice Hahn.
Quote
Janice Hahn: Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn has been shamed into scuttling a deal in which she would have played arbitrator between Gambol Industries and the city-owned Port of Los Angeles over a proposed, $50 million shipyard on Terminal Island.
The problem? Gambol has poured $12,000 into Hahn’s officeholder account and her campaign for lieutenant governor.
The full story, which can be found at the link below, makes clear the newspaper is not saying Candidate Hahn is corrupt, and addresses appearances vs. perception in Los Angeles politics.
