This week on PBS SoCaL, we delve into the drama surrounding proposed toll lanes on the Interstate 405 freeway, with a delay in the decision now likely after officials questioned where the toll money would end up.
Dozens of residents and officials are expected to show up to the Orange County Transportation Authority board meeting today, where a vote is scheduled and could be postponed.
