Garcetti seeks your opinion

While Mayor Eric Garcetti and his family are headed off to Australia today for a ten-day vacation, his staff has posted an invitation to suggest what the city can do better next year. "Do you think City Hall can do better for your neighborhood in 2014? Tell us how with our end of year survey," says the Facebook post.

Note that the survey asks for your name and email and defaults to you signing up to receive regular email from the mayor's office. But you can opt out of the email.
