The race to replace LA Mayor Eric Garcetti heated up Tuesday night with businessman Rick Caruso joining candidates for the first time for a debate at USC.
"Let's just focus on the issues, instead of attacking," Caruso said."You got crime problems, corruption in City Hall, homeless problems."
"Mr. Caruso, You indicated you're a builder. I respect that," said LA City Attorney Mike Feuer."You haven't done much in the way of building homeless and affordable housing for all the opportunities you've had.""Unfortunately it took this long to see Caruso on a debate stage," Buscaino said."The people of LA deserve to hear what his plan is.
Said Feuer:"We have multiple services available. No more shopping around the city for a person experiencing homelessness." Said Caruso:"When you have homelessness, you have crime, you have corruption? You're dampening those dreams. That's what's happening to the city. That's why I'm in the race." The candidates had 90 minutes to draw distinctions on matters like defunding the LAPD and recalling District Attorney George Gascon.This article tagged under:
