About this episode
The episode discusses the opening of Metro's D line extension and its potential impact on LA, along with the influx of dark money in local races and a recap of recent mayoral debates.
Metro’s D line extension is finally open! Alissa, Mike, Godfrey, and David discuss the many ways a longer Wilshire subway can be a game-changer for LA. Then: more dark and dirty money is flooding into local races as ballots hit mailboxes. Plus, a recap of recent mayoral debates — and why you won’t see Mayor Karen Bass on the debate stage anymore.
