The LAX Coastal Chamber is proud to be a part of the Alliance on Economic Fairness that is fighting today at City Hall for our LAX and hotel business community on the proposed Living Wage and Hotel Wage Ordinance. Special thanks to our LA City Council, including our CD 11 Councilwoman Traci Park for asking important, thought-provoking questions. The item has been continued until December 11 so that more research and analysis can be presented before a decision is made. Chad Maender
