Editorial: Give voters a chance to fix L.A. County’s broken government
LA TimesIt has been a year and a half since the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors instructed staff to examine ways to improve governance structure, transparency, representation and ethics, and come up with recommendations. Just as important would be a new ethics board for investigating government misconduct, a budget and management unit and panels to implement and periodically update county governance. Hahn’s roots in the L.A. County government run so deep that the Hall of Administration is named after her father. Opinion Editorial: A 5-member L.A. County Board of Supervisors without an exec is absurd When he was a Los Angeles County supervisor, Zev Yaroslavsky had a quip about county government that his successor, Sheila Kuehl, likes to quote: A county of 10 million people run by a five-member Board of Supervisors is absurd.
