Los Angeles City Council Corruption Cases

What the ongoing Los Angeles City Council corruption cases have revealed

The Cases

The Los Angeles City Council corruption cases -- the federal bribery prosecutions of Council members whose specific pay-to-play relationships with the real estate and cannabis industries the FBI investigations have documented -- are the accountability journalism of the specific corruption that the City Council structure and the specific development approval powers that Council members hold in their individual districts produces.

The Structural Issue

The structural issue that the corruption cases document: the City Council district system that gives individual Council members near-veto power over development in their districts creates the specific incentive for the pay-to-play relationship between the developer and the Council member that the federal prosecutions have documented. The corruption is the predictable product of the specific governance structure.
