Hour 1 - Today on Monks & Merrill: John McKinney, City Attorney candidate, joins to preview a scheduled Skid Row walk with the L.A. Downtown Industrial BID after the neighborhood’s only post office closed over safety concerns. We’ll examine why Skid Row’s murder rate is 17× the city average, and how that contrasts with California’s historic drop in homicides amid increased arrests. Tune in for on-the-ground perspective and policy solutions.
