Los Angeles City Council member Mitch Englander went to prison for taking gifts from casino interests. Jose Huizar turned his city council office into a criminal enterprise, an indictment contends. Mark Ridley-Thomas faces charges of taking bribes from USC. And three more councilmembers conspired with a top labor official to influence redistricting—spewing racism and hatred on tape and disgracing themselves. Often, such scandals seem like the only times Angelenos hear about their councilmembers. Is the L.A. City Council—overshadowed as it is by the mayor, five county supervisors, and powerful state and national politicians—still worth the trouble and embarrassment? Can the body be saved by reforms, or by making it bigger? Or should L.A. replace its council altogether and turn instead to innovative methods of government decision-making—from lottery-selected citizens' panels to the online environments used to govern cities from Madrid to Montevideo? Public Access Democracy director Leonora Camner, California 100 executive director Karthick Ramakrishnan, L.A. city councilmember Nithya Raman, and Weingart Foundation president and CEO Miguel Santana visit Zócalo to discuss where things went wrong, and imagine new futures for L.A.'s city council.

Welcome back to #SGV Connect. This week, I talk to Councilmember Muir Davis of La Verne about bicycle projects moving from the drawing board to contract. In a few short months, bike projects that have been on the books since I talked to La Verne advocate Doug Strange for #SGVConnect10 are close to becoming reality. But first, Kris interviews Katie Lemmon, Senior Transportation Manager at Metro and Jacob Libe, Senior Director of First/Last Mile Planning at Metro. The team is working hard to have projects on the ground to allow people to access the future Gold Line Foothill Stations as they open in future years. During my interview with Councilmember Davis, he mentions that people interested in getting involved with bike planning visit the La Verne Bicycle Coalition homepage for meeting updates and advocacy opportunities. At the time of broadcasting this podcast, that page is full of information about the first/last mile planning for a future La Verne Station. As a special bonus to listeners, if you make it all the way to the end of the second interview you can hear me repeat the same story about running into Jose Huizar the days before the Gold Line Eastside Extension opened that I tell in the start of the podcast. SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

Bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering. That's the summary of an FBI investigation into L.A.'s city hall. The probe isn't limited to building inspectors or staffers; the people under FBI investigation reportedly range from L.A. city councilman Jose Huizar to the former head of L.A.'s building and safety department. So we will go in depth on what is shaping up to be appears to be an ever-widening investigation scandal reaching into the upper echelons of L.A.'s city government. We'll hear from a city hall watchdog, and then from the Mayor of LA, Eric Garcetti. Pacific Gas and Electric, the utility serving much of Northern California, is about to declare bankruptcy under the weight of billions of dollars of liabilities from nearly 20 major wildfires. If PG&E can go bankrupt, what does that mean for other California utilities that are blamed for starting fires? President Trump insisted he was not an asset for Russian intelligence, but there's a lot of evidence to the contrary after it was reported that the FBI looked into the President's stance toward Russia. And transparency in hospital pricing seemed like a great idea.........now if only patients could crack the code of insanely complicated hospital bills.
