Los Angeles District Cuts Ties to 2 Companies

The Los Angeles Community College District is moving to end ties to one contractor and to one construction company involved in a much criticized multi-billion dollar facilities program, The Los Angeles Times reported. Both companies were among those whose work has come under scrutiny in a recent series of articles in the Times about the facilities program. The contractor was involved in the creation of one building that, on its opening, was missing exit signs and fire extinguishers, and that was found to have light fixtures that were not properly attached to ceilings.
