Eric Garcetti will be sworn in as the mayor of Los Angeles 6 p.m. Sunday and on his first day in office Monday, he wants to meet with you. In a Facebook update Friday morning, Garcetti announced office hours to address questions from L.A. residents.
Garcetti's Facebook update:
Monday is my first day as Mayor and I am holding office hours from 2 to 5 pm to meet one-on-one with L.A. residents who need help from their city government. You must email garcetti.officehours@lacity.org to book a meeting. Because we only have a couple of hours, we'll randomly book meetings from among the emails we receive -- but everyone who emails will have their issue addressed directly by the Mayor's Office. I hope to hear from you!
What would you like Garcetti to work on first? Leading up to the election, we asked folks what L.A.'s next mayor should prioritize as a part of our #DearMayor campaign. We mapped out responses and created a top seven list.
Tell us: If you had a one-on-one meeting with Garcetti, what would you ask him? What is the most pressing issue Garcetti should tackle? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #DearMayor. Or share in the comments below.
