Olympic Tax Rejected, Mayor's Race Tightens, and the Battle for MacArthur Park
from Monks & Merrill
Los Angeles voters send a clear message by rejecting a hotel bed tax increase tied to Olympic planning. LA City Councilwoman, 7th District, Monica Rodriguez joins the show to discuss what the measure's defeat means for the city's future. Plus, the race for Los Angeles mayor heats up as the battle for second place could determine who faces incumbent Karen Bass in November. And after another major LAPD and DEA sweep through MacArthur Park results in multiple arrests, we examine whether law enforcement crackdowns alone can solve the deeper issues facing one of LA's most troubled neighborhoods.
