Mejia says LA28 failed to provide documents he requested in August, including bank statements, venue budgets and the identities of contractors receiving payments from the private nonprofit. The city controller says LA28 is contractually obligated to turn over the records to his office. Mejia is seeking greater financial transparency as concerns grow over the potential cost of hosting the Summer Games. He says Los Angeles taxpayers could ultimately be responsible for covering expenses if the Olympics exceed their budget. The records could provide insight into LA28’s spending, financial planning and payments to outside contractors. Meanwhile, LA28 says it has not received the subpoena. The organization has not indicated when it expects to respond to Mejia’s request. The dispute comes as Los Angeles prepares to host the international sporting event in 2028.
