    Last year's local, state and federal election campaigns cost a record total of $6 billion. Proposition C asks LA voters to send a message to Washington: get the big money out of politics.

We hear about his revised budget, with a cautious approach to increased revenue.

    On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, when a building collapse killed 1100 garment workers in Bangladesh, it exposed the high cost of cheap clothing. We hear what's happening now in that country, what clothing companies are — or are not — doing and whether there's anything you can do.
