Latino Group Won’t Take Stand on Secession

From Times Staff Reports

The national executive committee of the Mexican American Political Assn. voted Saturday not to take a position on the Valley’s secession effort, but reinstated a Valley chapter that opposes a breakup.

Meeting in the City of Industry, the committee voted 8 to 1 against involvement in the secession debate.

“It’s a local issue, not a national issue,” said Steve Figueroa, president of the national committee.
