Snyder to Quit Council Friday
- Share via
After several months of speculation, Councilman Arthur K. Snyder announced today that he will resign from office to practice law, effective Friday. Snyder, a controversial and colorful politician who has represented Los Angeles’ Eastside since 1967, endorsed Assemblyman Richard Alatorre (D-Los Angeles) to replace him.
Although the City Council could appoint Alatorre, it is more likely to call for a special election, which can take place no sooner than 55 days from the day Snyder resigns.
