#119: The Los Angeles City Council has been through a lot of upheaval. In the past few years, there's been corruption scandals, indictments, leaked tapes with racist language — all involving city leaders. The latest: Councilmember Curren Price has been charged with embezzlement of public funds, among other counts. It's rattled his largely Latino district, which came out (mostly) in his defense recently. Unlike past corruption charges against sitting councilmembers, the council moved NOT to suspend him (yet) as the charges work their way through the court. But as the last of two Black councilmembers in L.A., his situation has a lot of observers wondering about the future of Black political power in this city. Guests: LAist's Civics and Democracy Correspondent Frank Stoltze and Los Angeles Times columnist Erika D. Smith.
