FBI asks about airport money

The Breeze reports that FBI agents are conducting interviews about payments for land purchases needed to expand LAX. Reporters David Zahniser and Ian Gregor say the investigation centers on money set aside to buy homes in the Manchester Square area east of the airport. The FBI would not comment, so it's hard to say just what is being investigated and why. But anything involving LAX and money these days piques my interest, given the huge amounts of cash -- and the high-level political juice -- in play around Mayor Hahn's airport expansion plans.
