Season 2010
Episode 29
Like many individuals, and like governments across the nation, the city of Los Angeles is facing a budget deficit. Estimated to be more than $200 million, it's growing by the day the City Council deliberates on taking action. Correspondent Judy Muller says the city has faced shortfalls before. But this one is different. Then, L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez introduces us to Wendy Rodriguez. By day she works with developmentally challenged infants. At night, she works out in the ring. Meet a five-time world champion boxer who's also fighting for some of the most defenseless among us. And it's award season, the time for designer gowns, crisp tuxedos and...ribbons. Humorist Brian Unger breaks down the colors and the causes.
