Animal lovers who wanted some guidance on this week’s election ballot could find help right on the City of L.A. Web site. David Zahniser reports at L.A. Now:

Ed Boks, general manager of the animal services department, keeps a blog titled ‘From Ed’s Desk’ on the department’s home page. A week ago today, he posted a list of congressional endorsements compiled by the Humane Society Legislative Fund. The posting instructed animal enthusiasts to re-elect such politicians as Rep. Jane Harman on the Westside and Rep. Adam Schiff in Pasadena...... Now legally, city officials are barred from using public resources for political purposes ... but the blog ... warns readers that nothing on it ‘represents the official position of the City of Los Angeles or LA Animal Services unless otherwise specifically noted.’
