Hey LA, There's an Election Tomorrow!

Hosted by
Mayor Villaraigosa is running for re-election with just token opposition, but the ballot offers plenty of other choices. We talk about city politics with knowledgeable insiders. On our rebroadcast of today’s To the Point, is there a paradigm shift in the so-called War on Drugs? Is criminalizing drugs wasting billions of dollars while addiction and violence increase? Would legalization perpetuate a dangerous cycle and make matters worse?

Barack Obama called the War on Drugs an “utter failure.” Three South American Presidents want a “paradigm shift.” Is the “war” wasting billions while addiction and crime increase? On our rebroadcast of today’s To the Point, would legalization make things better or worse? Also, a low turnout’s expected tomorrow in LA, but there’s more on the ballot than Mayor Villaraigosa’s re-election. Would a change of tone at City Hall be good or bad for neighborhood councils, developers and taxpaying voters?
