LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council Sep. 2 appointed Heather Hutt to serve as an interim council member for the 10th District, filling in for the suspended Mark Ridley-Thomas—and giving the South Los Angeles district a voting representative on the body for the first time in over a month.
The appointment came after a week of deliberations in which consideration of her nomination was initially blocked by five council members concerned about the speed of the process.
