The contentious county supervisor race between Councilman Bernard Parks and state Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas spilled into city politics this week when Parks tried to evict a nonprofit group tied to Ridley-Thomas and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stepped in to block the move.Daily News.

Parks and Ridley-Thomas are in a runoff for the 2nd District supervisor seat being vacated by Yvonne B. Burke. The campaign has turned ugly in recent weeks, with each candidate calling for investigations of the other.

On Tuesday, Villaraigosa was forced into the fray - reluctantly, his aides said - after Parks had the city send a 60-day eviction notice to Strategic Concepts of Organizing and Policy Education, a nonprofit focused on community organizing and job training.
