Secessionist Calls for Padilla’s Ouster
- Share via
The head of the Valley secession group said Friday that Los Angeles City Council President Alex Padilla should be ousted because of his removal of Councilman Hal Bernson from a panel studying the issue.
Valley VOTE President Jeff Brain, who lives in Glendale, sent an e-mail to dozens of the group’s supporters asking whether they would support such a campaign.
Padilla’s camp dismissed Brain’s e-mails.
“To have this recall generated by people outside the district shows how disingenuous this recall effort is,” said David Gerswhin, a spokesman for the council president.
