Toxic Leaks, Rebuilding Battles, and a Zoo in Crisis

from Monks & Merrill

Hour 1 - A toxic ammonia leak after a massive Boyle Heights warehouse fire raises health concerns, while hundreds of frustrated residents pack an Altadena town hall over controversial rebuilding plans in the Eaton Fire zone. Plus, Los Angeles voters could soon be asked to spend more on parks—but where will the money come from? And Los Angeles Times reporter Ruben Vives joins Monks & Merrill to discuss a scathing grand jury report that says the L.A. Zoo is deteriorating, losing members, and in need of new leadership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
