I've also written about how the Olympics are definitely not the end game for LA boosters. There are already megaevents booked well into the 2030s. This is not going to be magically over for the city in 2028
The forever games
With fewer cities stepping up to welcome the games, the IOC is keeping a handful of previous hosts on heavy rotation. And it might mean more Olympics are on LA's horizon

Here's a response from Mike Sanchez, spokesperson for the LA County Registrar-Recorder's Office, on questions I had around how many polling sites there used to be in the area.
Basically, there are much fewer sites than in the last cycle, but more than the minimum required.

Gina told me she recalls there being five sites within a half mile radius, and that it then got reduced to three. Now there appears to be one?
I'm checking with the registrar's office about it.

Fields, who is on her neighborhood council and was its chair (Empowerment Congress West Area), recalls there being five polling sites at one time.

ginaf0101Waited over an hour in line to vote, because they closed the 4 other locations in my South LA area. Ridiculous! Yes, I could have mailed it in but I like seeing my neighbors and meeting new ones. It’s usually a 15 minute wait, but over an hour was too much. Happy to see a great turn out though. Vote!

Fields estimated that tonight there were around 200 people when she was in line, and then when she left, it seemed like it was around 250.
Here's a video she sent me that gives you a sense of the line:

It's noteworthy that not everyone has been a fan of the "cut the red tape part" of things, such as the executive powers that the mayor gets under an emergency order, such as around no-bid contracting.

Well, at least formally, the request is coming from the City Attorney's Office, and the request letter is addressed to the City Council.
The request letter hasn't been assigned anywhere yet. It's not an approved request, as of now.
Here's the council file: cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkc...
