What's Next, Los Angeles? with Mike Bonin

Can We Fix a Broken Los Angeles (with Rick Cole)


Listen Later

Is Los Angeles broken? And what will it take to fix it? We discuss that with Rick Cole on this episode of WNLA.

Cole knows local government. He was elected to the Pasadena City Council in 1983, and served for 12 years, including two as Mayor. He served as City Manager of Azusa, Ventura and Santa Monica. He has served several times for the City of Los Angeles, as senior deputy to Councilmember Richard Alatorre, as deputy mayor for Budget & Innovation under Mayor Eric Garcetti, and as as deputy for City Controller Kenneth Mejia.  He left his position with Mejia last week, to focus on his role on the Pasadena City Council, a post he returned to in December after 30 years.

In his farewell ceremony at City Council last week, he spoke about what ills the city and what it will take to fix it. We follow up, in an in-depth discussion.


What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.
