## Resource

The John Kobylt Show Hour 1 (05/08) - John tells a story about just how obvious the decline of LA is just by what happened to his wife taking their dog to the vet yesterday! A guy in Venice almost had his arm hacked off by a homeless person. US Asst. Attorney Bill Essayli comes on the show to talk about the raid earlier this week in MacArthur Park that resulted in the arrest of 18 people and the seizure of 40lbs of fentanyl. What is the "vehicle miles traveled" tax? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
