The Ethics Lawsuit Takes on a New Dimension

By Paul Hatfield

The Krekorian campaign is calling on City Attorney Carmen Trutanich to enforce the Ethics laws of the City of Los Angeles in the wake of the controversial lawsuit filed by Working Californians. The group is allied with IBEW employees.

What is particularly notable is Paul Krekorian’s request for Carmen Trutanich to recuse himself from the case because of his public endorsement of Chris Essel, the beneficiary of significant independent expenditures from Working Californians

Recusal is a fair request in my view. For that matter, City Controller Wendy Greuel should recuse herself from any audits related to DWP because of the substantial support she received from the IBEW in her campaign for Controller.

The outcome of this case will have major ramifications for democracy in our city.
