Political insider Dan Garcia discusses Los Angeles Mayor Hahn's plan to redesign Los Angeles International Airport.
The public release of Mayor Hahn's Master Plan for the proposed reconfiguration of Los Angeles International Airport has been pushed back to later this summer. However, the distribution of an issue paper completed by the RAND Corporation on the mayor's plan reinvigorated debate over how to best modernize LAX to meet future regional needs and make air travel more secure. Metro Investment Report presents an interview with insider Dan Garcia, the Chief Compliance Officer for Kaiser Permanente and former president of the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners, in which he comments on the findings of the RAND study and elaborates on the politics surrounding the contents and release of Mayor Hahn's proposal.
