SoCal Connected: Episode 133

Watch the full episode:



This week's segments:

Marijuana Clinics: Up In Smoke - By Correspondent Judy Muller - It's been 13 years since the passage of Prop 215 and the city of Los Angeles still does not have a permanent ordinance regulating medical marijuana clinics.



Graffiti Goes Gallery - By Correspondant Vince Gonzales - Is graffiti vandalism or art?  At the same time as law enforcement imposes harsher penalties on graffiti writers, the fine art world and corporate America are embracing them.



Commentary - By Jill Stewart - The 15 Los Angeles council members earn about $80,000 more than their counterparts in more expensive San Francisco and New York. And way more than the Miami City Council whose part-time pay is just $6,000 a year. At nearly $180,000 a year our council members - public servants as they are called - earn 400% more than the average Angeleno. In no other city could we find as big a disparity.


WEB ORIGINAL:

High Time For Change? - Produced by Christal Smith - You might think a conservative judge from a conservative county would advocate for the prohibition of marijuana, but - based on his experiences - he is adamantly pro legalization.



Ad-Buster - By Web Team - Billboard Liberators: Graffiti artists use illegal billboards in Los Angeles as giant canvases.
