For 11 weeks, Mitch Englander has been preparing for his next job as councilman of the 12th District in the Northwest San Fernando Valley. And, he has six more weeks to bide his time before being sworn in on July 1. Daily News.

After winning better than 57 percent of the vote in the March 8 election over five other candidates, Englander insists he is not frustrated by the wait time.
