Hour 2 - Monks & Merrill take a hard look at Los Angeles’ preparations for the 2028 Olympics. They examine the city’s projected costs and promised economic benefits, question transparency around the $7.26 billion Olympic spending plan, and explore concerns about infrastructure, public safety, cleanliness, and who could ultimately pay for cost overruns. They also highlight activist Jonathan Hale’s unusual fight to get the city to fix neglected crosswalks.
