This is the story of Zev Yaroslavsky, a young social activist, who became one of Los Angeles' most powerful and consequential elected officials, taking on established power brokers and sparking major reforms in policing, transit, land use and fiscal policies. "I may be a part of the establishment," he said when first sworn into office, "but the establishment is not part of me."
