In other words, there's no plan
Just 7 days before the LA28 venue plan is due to the IOC, McOsker has filed *yet another motion* — this one asking for a report on potential "financial risks, operational burdens, or liabilities" for all the LA28 venues outside of the city of LA and to determine responsibility for any cost overruns
