Cancer must have been caught flat-footed when it took on Elois Zeanah. That was my first thought when I learned the feisty former Thousand Oaks councilwoman died of lymphoma late last month in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where she moved a dozen years ago.This scrappy daughter of the South polarized Conejo Valley politics in the 1990s.Her supporters, and they are legion and loyal to this day, will tell you the city is the better for her digging in her trademark high heels against growth.
