A good night for incumbents

Los Angeles voters decided to send incumbent City Council, school board and community college board members back to office in Tuesday's election.
At least three councilmen, Tom LaBonge, Bernard Parks and Jose Hyuzar, had been sweating out the election during the last few weeks, but all three appeared likely to return to office along with Councilmen Paul Krekorian, Tony Cardenas and Herb Wesson.
Also, it appeared as if Mitch Englander, chief deputy to outgoing Councilman Greig Smith, would be elected.
On ballot measures, voters were giving easy approval to reforms affecting the Department of Water and Power, a change in property taxes to give more support to libraries and a tgax on medical marijuana. A proposed oil extraction fee, however, was trailing.\
