A new voice in supervisor race
During his five years as chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, Bernard Parks was the main persona non grata of the Los Angeles Police Protective League.
Now, the Protective League is extracting its revenge as Councilman Parks is running in a fierce contest against state Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas, D-Los Angelesl, for a seat on the Board of Supervisors.
The Protective League this weekend began a $50,000 radio campaign on behalf of Ridley-Thomas against Parks. With the buy, the Protective League joins with the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, in backing Ridley-Thomas,. The union has said it is prepared to spend $4.5 million in the campaign.
