Richard Alarcon: Good Riddance and Hello
Making history by incessantly running for office
In 2006, proponents of Measure R, a similar plan to soften term limits on the Los Angeles City Council, was embraced by L.A. voters. Voters were assured by the League of Women Voters that if City Council members could hold office for 12 years instead of eight, City Hall's politicians would become more competent and seasoned.
Today, many critics say Measure R added four years of service but did not add any noticeable competence to the L.A. City Council.

Alarcon getting elected again & again is the sad state of affairs in LA. The voters are brain dead and will bring the demise of this great city--eventually.
Brain dead is one thing... it's the literally dead that keep electing commie slimebags like this.
I lived in his district,briefly,enough time to realize it was like iving in the worst 3rd. world country.Ah,and the mentality of its constituents,a match to its surroundings. They get what they ask for and probably deserve.
He`s a Lying, Self Serving, Thieving, Corrupt Amoral A Hole whom should have been run out of town on a Rail A Decade Ago along with his Tramp Wife.
