In an open letter, former Los Angeles City Controller Laura Chick goes after controller candidate Kenneth Mejia, referring to him as “unfit for public office.” Mejia, who was quick to rise up the ranks in his bid for controller, encountered a few stumbling blocks when his (deleted) tweets, calling President Biden a rapist and racist and of him holding photoshopped signs of Hillary Clinton behind bars and in an orange prison jumpsuit, came to light. The letter outlines four points to substantiate Chick’s concerns and reminds readers that “it is our responsibility as voters to do our homework and find the best candidates.” Chick, who served as controller from 2001 to 2009, is now the fourth L.A. city controller to endorse L.A. City Councilmember Paul Koretz for the controller position.
