LAX becoming bigger issue

| 2 Comments

The Daily Breeze's Ian Gregor says that Mayor Hahn's vision for L.A. International faces a new hurdle.

Mayor James Hahn’s $9 billion LAX modernization plan fails to fulfill its stated goals of constraining the airport and improving security, and focuses on protecting endangered butterflies at the expense of residents in nearby minority communities, according to a new Los Angeles County report obtained Wednesday by the Daily Breeze.

The report’s conclusions are significant for Hahn because county opposition to his LAX plan would require a super-majority of the Los Angeles City Council to pass it.

The whole LAX issue needs more reporting.
