Laketa: People don't care about the 'FF' label

Laketa Cole, one of the five council members referred to during budgeting time as being part of the Fiscal Five majority, says that label doesn't hurt her or help her.

"My constituents - and by that I mean the African-American community - don't care about the Fiscal Five. That doesn't mean anything to them."

What they will notice big-time, she says, is if she isn't consistent, if she doesn't follow through on what she promises to do. That's a reference, of course, to the vote Monday on arts funding.

"I fought for that money in the budget," she said. "They will let me know if I don't stick to it."
