Los Angeles heads to the polls today to decide on a range of local ballot measures, City Council races and local school boards. Without many national or statewide candidates on the ballot, turnout is expected to be low, but the races are still heated with big money involved. Among the more closely watched measures on todays ballot are LA's Measure L (allocating funds for the City's library system), Measure M (tax on medical marijuana collectives), and Measure O (tax on oil drilled in city limits). Marina Del Rey Patch has a full round-up of LA candidates and ballot measures, as well as a look at the big money being spent on local races.
An "uncommonly bitter" City Council race in West Hollywood has been the focus of some national attention after the New York Times profiled it as a battle between "prosperity and urban development pitted against the city's history as a countercultural haven." Check West Hollywood Patch for a round-up of the candidates, measures and poll information in today's election.
