Si uno disfruta de la pol\u00edtica de poder pura, desprovista de cualquier importancia c\u00edvica, la Legislatura de California ofrece muchos ejemplos de luchas internas ego\u00edstas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, el Concejo Municipal de Los \u00c1ngeles es \u00fanico en su clase, con 15 miembros \u2013todos dem\u00f3cratas menos uno\u2013 luchando por dominar mientras la ciudad que gobiernan contin\u00faa su deterioro socioecon\u00f3mico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La preocupaci\u00f3n actual del consejo es qui\u00e9n, si es que hay alguien, ocupar\u00e1 un puesto que est\u00e1 semivacante porque su ocupante, Mark Ridley-Thomas, ha sido acusado<\/a> por cargos federales de corrupci\u00f3n por cosas que hizo como miembro de la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Los \u00c1ngeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridley-Thomas, quien ha ocupado un cargo u otro durante m\u00e1s de tres d\u00e9cadas, incluido un per\u00edodo en la Legislatura, est\u00e1 acusado de utilizar su cargo para lograr que su hijo, tambi\u00e9n ex legislador, sea admitido en la Escuela de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad del Sur de California. Trabajar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridley-Thomas supuestamente prometi\u00f3 dirigir los contratos del condado a la escuela si le daba a su hijo una beca y un puesto docente. Un funcionario universitario tambi\u00e9n fue acusado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridley-Thomas ofreci\u00f3 suspender sus funciones en el concejo municipal hasta que se resolviera su caso penal, pero la presidenta del concejo, Nury Mart\u00ednez, encabez\u00f3 un esfuerzo dentro del concejo para hacer oficial su suspensi\u00f3n<\/a> y nombrar a un ex concejal, Herb Wesson, como miembro interino con privilegios de voto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridley-Thomas, por supuesto, se opuso a su destituci\u00f3n y sus partidarios, encabezados por la influyente Conferencia de Liderazgo Cristiano del Sur, demandaron para bloquear la maniobra, sosteniendo que Wesson no era elegible para unirse al consejo porque ya hab\u00eda alcanzado su n\u00famero m\u00e1ximo de a\u00f1os de servicio bajo la ley de l\u00edmite de mandato de la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wesson es un viejo aliado de Mart\u00ednez en las luchas de poder internas del consejo y que \u00e9l ocupe el puesto reforzar\u00eda su posici\u00f3n frente a sus rivales, y esa es una de las razones por las que la facci\u00f3n Ridley-Thomas prefiere que su puesto permanezca vacante mientras su caso penal contin\u00faa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En febrero, el grupo Ridley-Thomas persuadi\u00f3 a la jueza del Tribunal Superior Mary Strobel para que impidiera que Wesson ocupara el puesto, diciendo que la demanda probablemente tendr\u00eda \u00e9xito, luego se retract\u00f3 dos semanas antes y le pas\u00f3 el asunto al Fiscal General Rob Bonta. Seg\u00fan la ley de California, cualquiera que cuestione la validez de un funcionario, lo que se conoce como \u201cacci\u00f3n quo warranto\u201d, debe obtener el permiso del fiscal general para proceder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mientras la oficina de Bonta sopesaba el asunto, Mart\u00ednez y sus aliados votaron para sentar a Wesson como miembro con derecho a voto del consejo; creen que ten\u00edan ese poder porque la jueza Strobel hab\u00eda levantado su orden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este mes, Bonta finalmente actu\u00f3 y emiti\u00f3 una decisi\u00f3n de ocho p\u00e1ginas en la que dec\u00eda que se deber\u00eda permitir a los partidarios de Ridley-Thomas impugnar el nombramiento de Wesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Concluimos que existen cuestiones jur\u00eddicas sustanciales sobre si el nombramiento de Wesson al Concejo Municipal de Los \u00c1ngeles fue legal", dijo Bonta en su decisi\u00f3n. \u201cAdem\u00e1s, se servir\u00e1 al inter\u00e9s p\u00fablico al permitir que proceda la acci\u00f3n de quo warranto propuesta\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La decisi\u00f3n de Bonta, en efecto, devuelve el asunto al juez Strobel, quien ser\u00e1 presionado por Ridley-Thomas y sus partidarios para que una vez m\u00e1s impida que Wesson act\u00fae como concejal de la ciudad mientras contin\u00faa su demanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todos los involucrados insisten, por supuesto, en que simplemente est\u00e1n haciendo lo correcto para los residentes del distrito asolado por la pobreza en el sur de Los \u00c1ngeles que Ridley-Thomas hab\u00eda representado durante apenas un a\u00f1o antes de ser acusado. Pero son meros peones en el juego del poder pol\u00edtico, al igual que los dem\u00e1s residentes de la ciudad cuyos intereses pasan a un segundo plano en las perpetuas luchas internas del consejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mientras tanto, las calles de la ciudad se han visto asfixiadas por miserables campamentos de personas sin hogar, el crimen se ha disparado y su alcalde saliente, Eric Garcetti, est\u00e1 ausente sin permiso, librando una ardua batalla por la confirmaci\u00f3n del Senado como embajador de Estados Unidos en la India.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Comenz\u00f3 a cubrir la pol\u00edtica de California en 1975, justo cuando Jerry Brown comenz\u00f3 su primer per\u00edodo como gobernador, y comenz\u00f3 a escribir su columna en 1981, primero para Sacramento Union durante tres a\u00f1os, luego para The Sacramento Bee durante 33 a\u00f1os y ahora para CalMatters desde 2017. Dan tambi\u00e9n es autor o coautor de dos libros sobre California, \u201cThe New California: Facing the 21st Century\u201d y \u201cThe Third House: Lobbyists, Money and Power in Sacramento\u201d. Es un invitado frecuente en programas de radio y ocasionalmente aparece en la televisi\u00f3n nacional, comentando temas de California. Walters comenz\u00f3 su carrera en 1960 en el Humboldt Times en Eureka, California, un mes antes de cumplir 17 a\u00f1os, primero como asistente de redacci\u00f3n y luego como reportero de la polic\u00eda. Habiendo encontrado su vocaci\u00f3n, no s\u00f3lo rechaz\u00f3 una beca universitaria de National Merit, sino que abandon\u00f3 la escuela secundaria al carecer de una clase requerida (ir\u00f3nicamente, educaci\u00f3n c\u00edvica) para calificar para un diploma. Antes de mudarse a Sacramento para cubrir pol\u00edtica, fue editor en jefe de tres peque\u00f1os diarios. Tiene dos hijas adultas y tres nietos.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DanCALmatters"],"birthDate":"1943-10-10","gender":"Male","jobTitle":"Columnist","worksFor":"CalMatters.org","url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/author\/dan-walters\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2022\/07\/la-politicians-fiddle-around-as-the-city-smolders\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"LA politicians fiddle around as the city smolders","url":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2022\/07\/la-politicians-fiddle-around-as-the-city-smolders\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2022\/07\/la-politicians-fiddle-around-as-the-city-smolders\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/061922-Mark-Ridley-Thomas-LA-REUTERS-CM-01.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/061922-Mark-Ridley-Thomas-LA-REUTERS-CM-01.jpg?fit=2000%2C1334&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Dan Walters","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel Walters"}],"creator":["Dan Walters"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"CalMatters","logo":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/calmatters-logo_2x.png"},"keywords":[],"dateCreated":"2022-07-11T07:01:00Z","datePublished":"2022-07-11T07:01:00Z","dateModified":"2022-07-15T21:41:31Z"},"rendered":"<meta name=\"parsely-title\" content=\"LA politicians fiddle around as the city smolders\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-link\" content=\"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2022\/07\/la-politicians-fiddle-around-as-the-city-smolders\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-type\" content=\"post\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-image-url\" content=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/061922-Mark-Ridley-Thomas-LA-REUTERS-CM-01.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-pub-date\" content=\"2022-07-11T07:01:00Z\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-section\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-author\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/calmatters.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/061922-Mark-Ridley-Thomas-LA-REUTERS-CM-01.jpg?fit=2000%2C1334&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256385"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257960,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256385\/revisions\/257960"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256385"},{"taxonomy":"legislator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legislator?post=256385"},{"taxonomy":"bill","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bill?post=256385"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=256385"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=256385"}],"curies":[{"name":"Gracias","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
