Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, who generated bad feelings in the gay community by including only a few gay men and women last year in his mass appointment of new city commissioners, promised the city’s top gay campaign contributors that they will receive more important appointments. “As additional vacancies occur, it will get our serious attention and I assure you you’re going to get more,” Bradley told the Municipal Elections Committee of Los Angeles at a breakfast in Beverly Hills. The group--composed of gay men, lesbians and their supporters--is a major contributor to local election campaigns. The members have strong ties to Bradley and are expected to endorse his reelection campaign this spring against City Councilman John Ferraro.
