Which Way, L.A.?
High-rise, Low-rise and LA's Population Density At the urging of former Mayor Villaraigosa, the outgoing City Council agreed unanimously to put Director of Planning Michael LoGrande in charge of Building and Safety , a department that's three times larger than his. The newly elected Council will review that decision next year. If he's reappointed by the new Mayor, Eric Garcetti, LoGrande will have a lot of new responsibilities.

Later on today’s show, now that he’s into his second term, comedian turned US Senator Al Franken is telling jokes again.
