Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich has filed a second lawsuit against a big bank, trying to force the clean-up of foreclosed properties that have made some neighborhoods magnets for crime. US Bank is the latest target to claim Trutanich is after the wrong party. How many houses are in decline? If the bank's not responsible, who is? We talk with Trutanich and others. Also, criminal grand jury proceedings are underway against one of LA County's three elected officials. Did Assessor John Noguez lower assessed values for campaign contributors? On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, does Mitt Romney have something to hide?
