Angry Westside Homeowners Plan to Recall Councilman Jack Weiss Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Weiss represents a district that sprawls from the San Fernando Valley to West LA, the Fairfax District, Century City and Cheviot Hills. He was re-elected two years ago with 72% of the vote. In 2009 he wants to run for City Attorney but he may have a problem; a coalition of homeowners groups has launched a drive to recall him from office.
