Is Expanded Ride-Sharing Service Coming to LAX?

Drivers for Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing companies are picking up passengers all over LA, but they're not allowed at the region's major traffic hub, LA International Airport. Mayor Garcetti says they should be able to operate there, too. But traditional taxis are hurting, and cheaper competition will increase the pain.

Drivers for Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing companies are picking up passengers all over LA, but they're not allowed at the region's major traffic hub, Los Angeles International Airport. Mayor Garcetti says they should be able to operate there, too. But traditional taxis are already hurting, and cheaper competition will increase the pain. Various options are being considered by the Airport Commission -- but some City Council members are already threatening a veto.

Also, with Hillary Clinton in town, we hear how political fundraising is evolving in Hollywood.
