By Warren Olney • • 24m ListenMike Feuer is LA's new City Attorney and it’ll be his job to enforce Proposition D, which would limit medical marijuana outlets to 135. With more than a thousand in operation, how will he enforce the will of the voters? What about the gang injunction in Echo Park and parts of Silver Lake?
