On Sept. 25, Beverly Hills Mayor Lester Friedman delivered the annual State of the City Address at “An Evening with the Mayor” hosted at the historic Greystone Mansion. The event, presented by the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, also offered networking opportunities with business and government officials. Before the address, attendees were able to enjoy a reception accompanied by live music, hors d’oeuvres and wine.
Friedman took to a new format for this year’s State of the City Address, answering questions moderated by Jim Moret, Beverly Hills resident and chief correspondent for “Inside Edition.” Topics included city finances and public safety, as well as builder’s remedy, homelessness, the Olympics and antisemitism.
