Los Angeles City Councilman Herb Wesson returned to the City Council on Tuesday, March 22, for his first meeting since 2020 after being appointed to temporarily replace Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, who was suspended following his indictment in a federal corruption case.
On Thursday, L.A. Superior Court Judge Mary Strobel cleared the way for Wesson to begin serving as a temporary replacement for Ridley-Thomas. However, Strobel did not rule on whether Wesson is eligible to serve on the council again. She said the SCLC needs permission from California Attorney General Rob Bonta before the case can continue, according to SCLC lawyer John Sweeney.
“The judge previously ruled that the Council absolutely had the authority to suspend Councilmember Ridley-Thomas, and today she denied the petitioners’ request to prevent Mr. Wesson from serving as Councilmember for the 10th District. The people of the 10th deserve a vote on this Council and today we gave that to them.”
