Which Way, L.A.? ·

2010/12/02

For years, Republican Congressman Jerry Lewis brought home the bacon for Riverside County, and his use of earmarks for friends and contributors attracted attention from the FBI. Now he promises to preside over cutbacks — even for California — if he gets back his job as chair of the Appropriations Committee, which approves all federal spending. Also, the latest effort to bring the NFL to Los Angeles and, why do some state auditors and attorneys carry guns at public expense? On

2010/12/01

With all the votes finally counted, Attorney General-elect Kamala Harris came to Los Angeles today to claim victory and announce a laundry list of priorities, including reduction in the prison-recidivism rate. Also, the US Supreme Court took up a lower-court order to release 40,000 inmates from the state's overcrowded institutions. Would “low risk” parolees mean an increase in crime? On our rebroadcast of To the Point, is the Washington's partisan environment in for a change?

2010/11/30

Pedro Ramirez was brought to the US by illegal immigrant parents when he was three years old. Now he’s Student Body President at Fresno State. Unless Congress passes the DREAM Act, he won’t be able to work, join the military or qualify for public assistance. Is the Act simple fairness or a gateway to “amnesty?” Also, big fines for Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield and other insurance companies for not paying California hospitals and doctors what they were owed.

On this day before Thanksgiving, we compare the quality of what people eat in different parts of the LA region. How can more people get better food? Also, California's next Attorney General will be an African-American woman, the current Democratic DA of San Francisco, whose campaign made history in more ways than one, and the LA Auto Show isn't all about concept cars, electrics and hybrids.

2010/11/24

Farmers' markets are growing like weeds in California, with 719 certified statewide and more than 300 in LA, Orange and Ventura Counties. Participating farmers are supposed to sell fresh produce they grow themselves, but not everybody obeys the rules. With state and local agricultural agencies short of resources, some markets try to police themselves. How's that working out? Why are farmers' markets so popular in the first place?

After decades of effort by local homeowners, one of the nation's most contaminated military and industrial sites is finally on the verge of a clean-up.

2010/11/19

The LA Auto Show is a major stop on the worldwide circuit again, and this year’s popular themes include size, style and efficiency. Cadillac has a 4-seater for city parking that’s still luxurious. Fiat’s back with a car you can put in your pocket, and hybrids are almost commonplace. GM’s Volt isn’t the only electric, but you can still get a gas-guzzler too. We’ll talk with some expert observers.

Some of her own Democrats called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “the face that defeated us,” but today they chose her minority leader in next year’s Congress anyway.

Also, the sudden and brutal death of Longtime Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen.

The LAPD: Racial Profiling and the Federal Government

2010/11/17

The US Department of Justice has warned the Los Angeles Police Department it's not doing enough to end the practice of racial profiling. The Police Commission is reportedly impatient because so few officers have been called to account for a practice the Commission thinks is continuing. We talk with Chief Charlie Beck about that and other issues. Also, LA County's Board of Supervisors bans plastic bags, and increasing tension over the ballot count for State Attorney General. On

LA County's Department of Children and Family Services is back in the news, with reports that Director Trish Ploehn may be losing her job. A new state transparency law has led to horror stories about the abuse and deaths of children. Has the law itself made it harder for Ploehn's staff to concentrate on some 30,000 young people? Is Ploehn being scapegoated for years of overwork and/or incompetence that have been swept under the rug? On our rebroadcast of To the Point, what's the

The Carnival Splendor promised a week of spas, casinos, Broadway shows, luxury shopping and gourmet food. But for this week's cruise it was spam, nine decks with elevators that didn't work and toilets that didn't flush. After four days at sea without power, 3300 passengers have been towed into San Diego, thankful that nobody got hurt. Also, the Jewish peace group J Street sets up in LA.

Southern California's manufacturing economy was born when millions arrived to build airplanes during World War II. When the Cold War ended, those days were over. But Pentagon demand for a new weapons system is becoming a boon to the Southland, and it has multiple private applications as well. Also, that mysterious "missile launch" off Southern California?

Republicans say they want to repeal healthcare reform, but it won't be until long after California's newly elected Insurance Commissioner puts it into effect. We talk with Democrat Doug Jones, whose election this week was opposed by the insurance industry. Isn't Obama's reform more of a Republican plan in the first place? We also talk to a Republican consultant who says he knew Meg Whitman had lost the election when she said she'd submit to a lie detector. On our rebroadcast of
