Former Los Angeles City Councilman Ernani Bernardi was hospitalized briefly for observation Wednesday after he reported suffering chest pains.
Bernardi, 90, underwent tests in the emergency room at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Panorama City, and was released at 8 p.m., hospital spokeswoman Lisa Kort said.
Bernardi, a Van Nuys resident, served for 32 years on the City Council before retiring in 1993. Last month the former big band saxophonist married 88-year-old Eve Troutman.
