(Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)To the editor: Gustavo Arellano left some facts out of his column condemning the "Eastside politico." Antonio Villaraigosa helped pass $40 billion in new funding for rail, road and highway projects in Los Angeles County. Lettie Ibarra, Los Angeles..To the editor: Former L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar, who is pleading guilty to federal racketeering charges, is certainly not the first of his political type. A major oversight was not to mention Edward R. Roybal, who served on the L.A. City Council for 13 years and was a member of Congress for 30 years. Luis A. Carrillo, South PasadenaThis story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.
