    Which Way, L.A.?

    Executive Pay on Wall Street and New Digs for the LAPD

    Parker Center has been replaced as police headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. Does the new building, so far without a name, represent a new way for the LAPD to protect and serve? On our rebroadcast of To the Point, traders and brokers who almost wrecked the economy got bonuses anyway, even as their companies were being saved by taxpayer bailouts. Will Obama Administration pay cuts punish the right people? Will new rules protect against another recession?

    The LAPD's new headquarters has been formally dedicated. Does it represent a new way of doing police business? Is it really "transparent?" How does it function as a public space in downtown Los Angeles? On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, traders and brokers who almost wrecked the economy got bonuses anyway, even as their companies were being saved by taxpayer bailouts. Will pay cuts by the Obama Administration punish the right people? Will new rules protect against another recession?
