A year ago, Mayor Hahn's $9 billion plan to modernize LAX was on the fast track and city councilwoman Cindy Miscikowski was persona non grata with the mayor's friends and allies for raising questions about the cost and details. What a difference a year makes in politics. These days, everyone (including Hahn) wants to work with Miscikowski and hear what she says about the airport. This morning, a breakfast talk she is billed to give before the Current Affairs Forum at the Wilshire Grand downtown is suddenly a hot ticket. Commissioners, journalists, labor leaders and city insiders eager to get her latest take on the LAX controversy have reserved spots.
