The old boys club....again

| | Comments (0) |

The Los Angeles City Council is close to becoming an Old Boys Club again. Daily News.

Once Janice Hahn takes the oath of office for Congress this week, Jan Perry becomes the last woman on the council.

"It worries me," Perry said. "And, when I leave office in two years, there is a chance this will be all males again."

Perry, who is running for mayor in 2013 and is termed out from the council, is the last of a wave of women who, at one point, made up one-third of the 15-member council. Another candidate in the mayor's race is former councilwoman Wendy Greuel, who currently serves as the city's controller.
