What’s the Difference Between the 2 Contenders in the City Attorney’s Race?

At a candidates’ forum this past Wednesday, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich and his challenger, former Assemblyman Mike Feuer, were given an opportunity to respond to issues and allegations raised during the course of their campaigns for the May 21 runoff election for the office of L.A.’s city attorney.

The forum at the Encino Community Center, was attended by about 100 people and moderated by Rob Glushon, a past president of the Encino Neighborhood Council.

Watch the two videos above to see how the two candidates responded to Glushon's invitation to “set the record straight, as they see it.”

This is the fifth in a series of videos from the forum. Here are the previous installments:

1. Candidates Outline Their Positions: Feuer and Trutanich introduce themselves and list what they stand for.

2. Priorities: Each candidate lays out the top three things that would be on his agenda if he becomes L.A.'s next city attorney.

3. Protection of Homeowners: The candidates explain what they can do to protect homeowners from eviction by banks following foreclosures.

4. Land Use Battles: The candidates say what the city attorney can do to protect residents in land use battles with developers.
