Los Angeles Times | March 04, 2009 | 12:41 a.m. PT L.A. election update: Weiss headed for runoff in city attorney poll, Greuel takes city controller
In the latest election news, Los Angeles city attorney candidate Jack Weiss, a Westside councilman, appears headed for a May 19 runoff against Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich, although early returns showed Deputy City Atty. Michael Amerian narrowly in third place. Councilwoman Wendy Greuel is drawing enough votes to avoid a runoff in her bid for city controller, holding a commanding lead on businesswoman Kathleen "Suzy" Evans and engineer Nick Patsaouras. In the 5th District council race, former state Assemblyman Paul Koretz is battling neighborhood council member David T. Vahedi for the top spot in the contest for the only vacant seat on the Los Angeles City Council in the crowded six-way race to replace Councilman Weiss. The election drew little public interest and a low voter turnout. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- California and the world: Visit http://link.latimes.com/r/OZHORT/W6078/7W7VFP/T2QI/PRLK34/OS/t for up to the minute news.
