An Appealing Shade of Green

Ferris Wehbe, 43, an effective and hard-working Hollywood community leader, will likely get strong support in the Hollywood environs from people who know of his labors to expel gangs from neighborhoods and to develop after-school programs. He and his wife operate the Hollywood Little Red School House, a private school on Highland Avenue. From our standpoint, it’s a reach to endorse a candidate who led the Hollywood secession movement before this campaign, especially when there are strong alternatives.

Our choice faces long odds on winning, but we don’t believe that an endorsement of Robb — or a vote for Robb — is wasted, because if the Weeklydoesn’t support solid local candidates who work for causes we support, who will? And if we don’t support them now, then when would we?
