Scott and Alissa on: the Santa Monica scooter decision, a tunnel meeting at Dodger Stadium, the completion of My Figueroa finally, Garcetti raising money for Dems everywhere but LA, the possibility of last call at 4AM, truly horrifying charges against LASD, Patrick Soon-Shiong’s maybe-shady hospital bankruptcy, and the truly bewildering Prop 8.
