Horvath decides to run for Los Angeles County CEO

(The Center Square) - Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath has launched a 2028 campaign for the county's newly created, voter-approved position of elected CEO. Reportedly the position would pay $558,000 a year, more than twice the California governor's salary. The reform, which came about with the passage of Measure G, flips the local power structure by placing the CEO, who will oversee a $50 billion-plus budget, above the Board of Supervisors, while also expanding the board itself from five to nine members. The current CEO is Joseph Nicchitta, who was appointed by the board on May 19. Starting with the 2028 elections, the CEO is slated to be elected by voters. “Los Angeles has never been a place that dreams small, but for too long, our County government has moved too slowly, failed to meet the moment, and allowed bureaucracy to stand in the way of progress,” Horvath posted on X. “I fight every day to reform our government because I believe the people of Los Angeles deserve better — a government that works for them, delivers real results, and is accountable to the people it serves. That’s why I’m running to become Los Angeles County’s first elected County

Inside the effort to transform downtown L.A.’s graffiti-tagged towers

The graffiti that covered downtown Los Angeles’ Oceanwide Plaza is largely gone after an extensive cleanup of the three-tower development. Crews tackled graffiti across 250 balconies, sometimes working from window-washing platforms 35 stories above the ground, while clearing out roughly 1,000 spray-paint cans and even a loaded gun. Developers say Oceanwide Plaza is ultimately expected to include retail, residences, restaurants, swimming pools and luxury condos.

Los Angeles Voted. Jewish Students Are Still Waiting to Know Who Will Stand With Them

A STUDENT'S VIEW - The election is over. But for a generation confronting antisemitism, political promises mean nothing without protection, accountability, and courage. Imagine being a young Jewish student in Los Angeles and wondering whether wearing a Star of David will invite harassment. Imagine walking toward a university classroom and questioning whether your identity, your beliefs, or your connection to Israel will make you unwelcome. Now imagine watching another election come and go, hearing politicians celebrate diversity and inclusion and still wondering whether those promises include you. This is the question Los Angeles cannot afford to ignore.

George Mkrtchyan Left a Century City Firm to Build One Where Clients Talk to Their Attorney

The call goes to voicemail. The client leaves a message, waits a week, and calls again. Somewhere in the office, the file holding that client’s injury claim sits exactly where it sat last month. For many people who hire a lawyer, the hardest part of a case can be the silence between updates, not the legal question at the center of it.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is this weekend. Who's getting in and who's showing up?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Billy Idol , Oasis , Wu-Tang Clan , Phil Collins, Sade , Queen Latifah , Iron Maiden , Joy Division/New Order and the late Luther Vandross will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. But the list of who will show up and perform is getting shorter daily and looking awfully thin, and it's difficult to know what the ceremony will look like with so many artists not playing the sets that define the show. Sade's representative told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she won't attend, a day after fans learned that Oasis will be a no-show. Iron Maiden and key members of New Order previously revealed they aren't coming. And Phil Collins is likely to appear but not play. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame may make a few announcements later this week about who is inducting the new members and who may perform their songs in their place, although organizers like to keep much of the show a surprise. For the second straight year, the ceremony that moves between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. After two

SNL pokes fun at LA mayor election. What happened?

Saturday Night Live cast a spotlight on the Los Angeles mayoral election in its latest episode. “Nithya Raman, democratic socialist, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. That’s right,” Michael Che, co-host of Weekend Update said. “Because LA is always a year behind us on every trend.” The quip got some cheers during Weekend Update’s roundup of major headlines coming out of the midterms, including that top aide Stephen Miller was tapped to be White House chief of staff. Raman has garnered comparisons with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for their democratic socialist ties throughout the race. Mamdani, who earned the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America New York City chapter, was sworn into office at the start of the year. “I’m LA’s Nithya Raman,” Raman said when asked if she’s the city’s Mamdani in an interview with CNN’s Elex Michaelson . The progressive Los Angeles city councilmember defeated incumbent Mayor Karen Bass with 55% of the vote, according to the latest Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk results. County elections officials are scheduled to certify election results on Nov. 27. It is the first time since 2005 that an incumbent Los Angeles mayor has lost. “Here in Los Angeles,
