Hopefully “Bucks” days are numbered. He lost my support when he stopped listening to his constituents, voted for the stimulus and distanced himself from Bob Kellar by playing politics.

He feels the same way as Mr Kellar does but decided to play politics instead. The LDS church should be ashamed of him.

Please put “Buck” on the NO INCUMBENT list!

Jill never had that bubble to retreat into.

Annette:

As predicted, a befuddled council member steps to a microphone, does not back down, and then draw the crazies on BOTH sides down on us.

Ms. Gonzalez-Harper,

I’m the Readers’ Representative for the Los Angeles Times, and Ann Simmons shared your e-mail with me regarding the terms she used in her article in yesterday’s paper. She has received a couple of notes expressing similar sentiment, and I’ve received a reader question about the article as well.

I’d like to address your point, and the couple of others, in a post on the Readers’ Representative Journal, which is online at latimes.com/readers. Would that be OK with you? And if so, could you let me know what city you live in?

Thank you,

Deirdre Edgar

Readers’ Representative

(BGH said yes and provided information requested)

It is funny but I did not hear this learned gentleman, Jorge Cabrera, once make any distinction between legal immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants. The numbers he cites are also flawed. He is himself Hispanic but apparently does not understand the difference between race and ethnicity. He speaks of the number of Whites, vs. Latino/Hispanic again making no distinction between race and ethnic background. I would ask him the same question I asked Ann Simmons of the LA Times.

Hello Ms. Simmons.
I am one of those supporters who broke into tears you reference in your article regarding Councilmember Bob Kellar.
As a point of discussion, you site statistics regarding white residents and then later regarding “Latino” residents. How would you count me using those labels? My race is Caucasian, my ethnic background is Hispanic (not Latino just because the Census Bureau says so). There are many of “us”. Do I count twice, once in each category, or only once and in which category? You are doing what so many others do and mixing your “labels” into one. I would question any numbers using those labels from whatever the source.
Regards,
Berta González-Harper
