01/03/10 Inland Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter will begin the new legislative year on the mend. Carter, D-Rialto, had surgery on her right knee in December after months of increasing pain. She expects to miss the first few weeks of the 2010 legislative year that begins today. "It's just wear and tear. It finally got to the point where it was painful all the time," said Carter, 68.
