SAN FERNANDO VALLEY : Fire Capt. Hall, Anne Finn Enter City Council Race

Pledging to help create jobs, battle crime and make City Hall pay more attention to the needs of the San Fernando Valley, city Fire Captain Lyle Hall formally announced his candidacy Thursday for the City Council seat being vacated by Ernani Bernardi.

Also announcing for the same seat Thursday was Anne Finn, the widow of Howard Finn, an East Valley councilman who died in 1986 after collapsing at City Hall from a heart attack. Hall, 52, is running for the second time in the 7th Council District, where in 1989 he forced the 81-year-old Bernardi into a runoff election but lost.

Finn, 77, cited her background and experience as qualifications for the job.
