Episode description
The bribery trial of former Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas continues as the LA Unified School District strike ended.
"Inside the Issues: The Podcast" hosts Alex Cohen and Sara Sadhwani look into the federal trial of Ridley-Thomas, who was charged with 19 counts of bribery and corruption.
And they discuss another council member, Hugo Soto-Martinez, who made a bold move this week by having the fence around Echo Park come down.
Plus, they break down the special election of council District 6 and the politics of the three-day LAUSD walkout.
