Metro Board Chair O’Connor Returns To Call-In TV
- When
- June 25, 2008 8:00 pm
- Where
- LA City Cable 36 SM Cable 16
Viewers are invited to call in questions for the Board Chair between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. The call-in number will be displayed during the show, which will air on both City of Los Angeles Channel 36 and CityTV Channel 16 in Santa Monica.
The show will be divided into three segments. The first will focus on Metro's Draft Long Range Transportation Plan, which will go to the Metro Board for approval or amendment on June 26, the day after the Metro Live show. Board Chair O'Connor will also take questions on the proposed half cent sales tax for Los Angeles County. The Metro Board will also discuss the following day if it will try to have a new half cent sales tax dedicated to transportation placed on the November ballot. The second segment will be an open discussion of congestion pricing or toll lanes: what it is, how it is working in other cities, what it could yield for Los Angeles County. For the third segment, viewers will be invited to share their suggestions for coping with the high cost of gas.
This will be Pam O'Connor's last live TV call-in show as Metro Board Chair. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will take over as Metro Board Chair July 1.
