Leiweke and the have-nots

Tim Leiweke has his finger in more pies than most Angelenos. Among many other things, his company -- AEG, with the initials standing for Anschutz Entertainment Group -- owns the Los Angeles Kings and is developing the $2.5 billion L.A. Live entertainment/hotel/office-space complex around the Staples Center, which it also owns. The company has benefited from some subsidies and beneficial political connections, which occasionally lands it in at least mildly warm water.
