  6. Newton: Dennis Zine and the race for city controller

    City Councilman Dennis Zine has never struck me as a controller type. He's garrulous, outgoing, street-smart &mdash; the remnants of his first career as a Los Angeles police officer and union representative.

Zine was combative then and still is, more of a brawling, glad-handing pol than a cerebral, numbers-driven type.
