CD1 Candidates Answer Questions About Trash, Gangs

Two issues noted as major concerns for community members were addressed by the candidates last night.

The four candidates vying for the Council District 1 seat in March's city-wide elections answered community questions for more than an hour on Monday evening at the Carlin G. Recreation Center in Mount Washington.

The candidates were quizzed on both their knowledge of hyper-local issues, including the Mount Washington-Glassell Park specific plan, and regional concerns, such as how they would support the revitalization of the L.A. River.

They were also asked to address two issues that were bought up by Patch readers both in our comments section and on our Facebook page: illegal dumping and gang crime.
