LOS ANGELES — At first, all the mayor asked of Casey Wasserman was advice. What would it take for Los Angeles to successfully bid for the 2024 Olympics?
Then Mayor Eric Garcetti wanted Wasserman to lead the effort. Now, three years later, Wasserman jokes that he should have known better than to take an unpaid, volunteer position.
But beneath the quip lies what those close to the LA 2024 chairman know — not only does he want to do it, but there is perhaps no one better for the job.
