With less than three weeks remaining until #ElectionDay, polls show that Rep. Karen Bass and Rick Caruso are the top candidates to replace Mayor Garcetti, with City Councilman Kevin de León trailing. latimes.com/california/sto…
Cty Atty. Mike Feuer's Tuesday exit follows that of Councilman Joe Buscaino, who dropped out last week and threw his support to Caruso.
Feuer, who served with Bass in the state Assembly, endorsed her at a park in Encino on Tuesday. latimes.com/california/sto…
The departures from the race weren’t surprising and laid bare the contours of the race.
Feuer and Buscaino are well-known figures in local politics, but both struggled to gain a wider foothold with voters. latimes.com/california/new…
Caruso, meanwhile, is on pace to spend well over $20 million on advertising in the primary, a blitz that has introduced him to a wide swath of voters and put him in a dead heat with Bass, polls show. latimes.com/california/sto…
Political consultant Dermot Givens said the June 7 election is now a three-way contest among Bass, Caruso and De León.
Yet many — at least a quarter of likely voters — are undecided, according to a poll released last week by Bass’ campaign.
Ballots have already been printed and mailed to Angelenos.
The top two vote-getters in the June 7 primary will advance to a November runoff unless a single candidate receives more than 50% of the vote and wins outright. latimes.com/california/sto…

New: The man accused of attacking comedian Dave Chapelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl earlier this month was charged Thursday with attempted murder in connection with a stabbing last year.
Isiah Lee allegedly stabbed his roommate following a fight in December. In a statement, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón said “the publicity generated by the attack on Mr. Chappelle” led the victim in the stabbing to identify Lee. latimes.com/california/sto…
Lee pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder charge and is due back in court next month, prosecutors said.

Fridges aren’t explicitly referenced in New York state law. But multiple court rulings have cited a lack of them when castigating landlords for maintaining unlivable apartments — precedents that encourage owners to pony up for a fridge so as not to be sued.latimes.com/homeless-housi…
But legal reasons alone do not explain Southern California’s relative dearth of refrigerators. Other large states like Florida and Texas do not require fridges either, but they come standard with apartments, pointing to something about L.A. culture. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
Economists expressed befuddlement at L.A.'s comparative lack of complimentary chill. Two interviewed by The Times suggested that the subject was worthy of a graduate school thesis. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
