The City at Stake: Secession, Reform, and the Battle for Los Angeles
"The alienation of white middle-class voters led to a new kind of urban reform. In the era when minority complaints drove the reform agenda, the threat of civil disorder drove municipal reform. Today, it is the threat of exit, tax revolt, or secession." (11)
"African Americans are established and older, and depend to a greater degree on government jobs that do Latinos. They hold political positions they consider imperiled by changing demographics and political demands. Their support of Hahn was founded on familiarity with the Hahn family, but also had an element of defense against an uncertain future. Also Democrats, Latinos are younger and more insurgent. Less dependent on government jobs, they draw their union base from the County Federation of Labor and private employers. The two-headed minority movement both strengthens the Democratic party base in Los Angeles and fractures the progressive movement, reducing the inevitability of a shift to the left." (223)
