The city has been reeling from the leak of a conversation among former Council President Nury Martinez, council members Kevin De León and Gil Cedillo and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera.
“While zero-sum competition is inevitable for a fixed number of seats, zero-sum politics are NOT," prominent Los Angeles-based Latino academics and civic leaders said in an open letter.
While the letter again condemned the racist remarks, it noted that Latinos are 40% of the state's population and 50% of Los Angeles County residents, yet they hold only 27% of City Council seats and 20% of county supervisor seats. "While zero-sum competition is inevitable for a fixed number of seats, zero-sum politics are NOT," they said."Latinos should hold their elected officials — and indeed all elected officials — to a standard of representation that raises up and improves the lives of all constituents."
