City Hall Pass: Mayor's race, LAX runway project, LA Convention Center
KPCC's political team Frank Stoltze and Alice Walton join the show for a regular roundup of the latest political news.
This week, absentee ballots of the upcoming Mayoral election have already gone out. The most recent polling data from an LA Times/USC poll shows that Eric Garcetti has a pretty comfortable lead over Wendy Greuel, up by 10 points. What does this mean for the remaining four weeks until election day?
Looking ahead to next week, the LA City Council is set to consider the LAX runway project, and they voted to solicit a new round of bids to operate the LA Convention Center.
