POMONA — A controversial mayor who was recalled by Pomona voters is asking for another chance. Joann Hancock, who as mayor was involved in a lawsuit against the city council, is among the last-minute flurry of people filing for three city council seats up for election this spring. Another former mayor, Kirk Lauritsen, is among the candidates who also filed. Two city council members – Richard Adler and Rick Smith – also filed for re-election. Other people filing include Carole Hopkins, Bill Lloyd, Lindsay Meyer, Jerry Slavens and Scott Snethen. The city is assured of at least one new council member. Don Lockaby didn’t file for re-election.
