To the editor: In gentle of the information that L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis intends to run for Congress ought to California create a brand new district, it is very important spotlight a critical concern (“L.A. may land a new congressional seat. Is it already reserved?,” Aug. 21).
Solis has a distinguished profession of public service on the native, state and federal ranges, and I love her many achievements. On the identical time, she now has her title on a variety of taxpayer-funded services throughout L.A. County: two faculties in East L.A., a park in Baldwin Park, the brand new Hilda L. Solis Aquatic Middle in West Puente Valley and even the Hilda L. Solis Care First Village for individuals experiencing homelessness.
The colleges, park, pool and housing improvement are group assets meant to serve residents, to not promote the political model of anybody official. If Solis is contemplating one other run for workplace, it might be time for her to take away her title from these services and take away the incumbency benefit that echoes the Donald Trump fashion of branding all the pieces together with his title.
