To the editor: After many years of inhabitants development and a number of other efforts to reform Los Angeles County authorities in response, voters handed Measure G, supporting historic reforms that can higher serve a inhabitants of some 10 million residents who make up the nation’s largest county.
The measure will divide legislative and govt features between a extra various nine-member Board of Supervisors (as a substitute of the present 5) and an elected county chief govt. There will likely be extra oversight with the institution of an ethics fee.
Bills for these adjustments may be discovered throughout the county’s present annual price range, which presently sits at round $49 billion. Staffs for the 5 present giant districts may be downsized for the smaller 9 districts. Different financial savings may also be discovered to allow these reforms.
Voters are to be counseled for recognizing the necessity to reform L.A. County authorities.
