The LAUSD strike is over… what was the final deal and why did it take so long? Mark Ridley Thomas is running for City Council… why hasn’t he announced it, and who’s running to take his place? Adam Schiff might run for President… is he a possible candidate for an AOC-style primary from the left? And congestion pricing gets introduced at a Metro board meeting… how did the board members try to slow down the process this time?

Where we stand a week into the UTLA strike, Metro’s CEO gets bold on congestion pricing, the bribery scandal at City Hall continues to unfold, the council appoints a new member, and Sheriff Villanueva makes a very unsettling hire. Scott and Hayes talk about all of these things and a couple more.

Alissa, Scott and Hayes go through the federal search warrant document that names Jose Huizar along with many other people, make predictions for the UTLA strike, and run through Gavin Newsom’s housing proposals in his first budget.

Alissa, Scott, and Hayes run through news about Tejon Ranch, some city council votes, and a mural controversy, then are joined by teachers JESENIA CHAVEZ and JANICE CHOW to talk about the United Teachers of Los Angeles negotiation with LAUSD and why they’re ready to strike.
