From Fox News Latino:
Former U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis easily won a seat on the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors, pulling in a commanding 67.65 percent of the vote with only
22 percent of votes counted late Tuesday night… The Board of Supervisors position
is more powerful than it might appear. “It has among the greatest powers of any local
government in the country,” said Louis DeSipio, a political scientist at the University
of California, Irvine.
