California lawmakers draw on past to prepare for 2028 Olympics

With the next Summer Olympics less than 2 1/2 years away, state legislative leaders this week reflected on the 1984 Games — the last time Los Angeles hosted the global sporting event — as they seek out ideas and inspiration to make the 2028 Games just as, if not more, successful.

The Assembly Select Committee on the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games held its first informational hearing in L.A. on Friday, a meeting focused on lessons learned from the 1984 Olympics and the lasting impacts of those Games.
