    Los Angeles' Second City Council District is huge, running from Studio City north to Sunland-Tujunga and from North Hollywood west to Van Nuys. After Wendy Gruel stepped down when she was elected City Controller, a special primary election was survived by Democrat Assemblyman Paul Krekorian and former Paramount Pictures executive Christine Essel, both of whom had to move into the district to run for the Council seat. The runoff will be held tomorrow. We hear from both candidates, as well as from Rick Orlov, who covers City Hall for the Daily News.
