Eric Garcetti Gets ‘Back to Basics’ in Mar Vista

With just a couple of weeks to go before he takes office as the new mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti has been busy taking his ‘Back to Basics’ plan around the city.

On Saturday afternoon, he was at Mar Vista’s Windward School together with incoming CD 11 Councilman Mike Bonin, where he spoke with and listened to locals on the pressing issues he plans to address.

Garcetti’s ‘Back to Basics’ series were designed to help him get feedback from the local communities about ways to improve the neighborhoods, and help improve the economy.

Following the two hour event Bonin wrote on his Facebook page, “Thanks to everyone for a great turnout…and for the tremendous commitment to civic engagement, to strengthening our neighborhoods, and to making Los Angeles a better place.”
