Judge grants injunction keeping Herb Wesson off the L.A. City Council
A judge barred former Los Angeles City Councilman Herb Wesson on Monday from returning to City Hall as a temporary fill-in for Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas for at least two months, leaving his South Los Angeles district without a voting representative.
The City Council suspended Ridley-Thomas last year after he was indicted on federal charges of bribery, conspiracy and fraud in a case focused on his time as a county supervisor. He has pleaded not guilty. “We don’t want to have two months without a voting representative,” said Gina Fields, who serves on theSCLC attorney John Sweeney welcomed the judge’s decision and said his clients would fight any effort to make Hutt a temporary voting member for the district.
The City Council chose Wesson to serve as a temporary replacement for Ridley-Thomas in February. Under that arrangement, Wesson was to supposed to serve until Dec. 31 — or step down ahead of schedule if the charges against Ridley-Thomas were dropped or he was acquitted.
