LA County Supervisor's Family Ties Questioned Don Knabe has been a Los Angeles County Supervisor since 1996, and his son Matt is a registered lobbyist with the firm Englander, Knabe and Allen. Tonight on KCET's SoCal Connected , correspondent Vince Gonzales reports that the Supervisor often introduces — and votes on — measures that favor his son's clients. (Supervisor Knabe declined to appear on this program, saying he hadn't yet seen KCET's story. He did say that he wouldn't vote for anything if it weren't "a good deal for the city.")

City officials have reversed course and now say they want a halt, but can they force the advertising companies to pull them down?
