L.A. County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas wants the county Board of Supervisors to take direct control of the troubled L.A. Memorial Coliseum from a joint state, city and county commission, the politician wrote in a letter Friday.
The need for reform comes, he wrote, as the Coliseum has found itself unable to pay millions of dollars for renovations to the stadium and as its finances are under scrutiny.

"It is now clear to me the Coliseum's future viability will depend on a new operational structure," said Ridley-Thomas, whose district includes the stadium. He also sits on the Coliseum Commission.
His letter requests that County Counsel Andrea Ordin write a report about how the state and city and county of Los Angeles would dissolve the commission. "I believe the County of Los Angeles may be in the strongest position among the three parties to manage the Coliseum, and would therefore request you examine the legal viability of that option," he wrote.
