L.A. wants to know if city contractors are helping build Mexico border wall (latimes.com)

Los Angeles lawmakers are pushing for city contractors to reveal whether they are helping to build a wall along the Mexican border, arguing that Angelenos deserve to know if firms are working on the polarizing project.

At a Tuesday meeting, the City Council voted to draft a law that would require companies seeking or doing business with the city to disclose whether they have contracts to help design, build or provide supplies for "any proposed border wall between Mexico and the United States of America."

The proposed law would not actually ban companies working on the wall from doing business with Los Angeles, but Cedillo described the rules as a deterrent and said he would vote against city contracts with such firms.
