Which Way, L.A.?
The Campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles, from the Inside Despite predictions of a race so tight the results might be delayed, the election was over by early on Wednesday morning. Councilman Eric Garcetti will be the next Mayor of Los Angeles. Controller Wendy Greuel will be out of a job. We speak with the men who headed the winning and losing campaigns, Bill Carrick, senior strategist for Garcetti, and John Shallman, who played the same role for Greuel.
Which Way, L.A.?
Trutanich, the Candidate Who Promised Not to Run In next month's election, Carmen Trutanich is considered the front-runner among six candidates for LA County District Attorney — even though he promised to serve two terms as City Attorney. He hasn't even finished his first. Incumbent DA Steve Cooley supported Trutanich for that office, but has opposed to Trutanich replacing him when he steps down. (Since his mother was hospitalized early this week, Trutanich is not accepting requests for media interviews.) We get an update on the campaign.
