\u00a0Los Angeles Times\u00a0<\/em>has endorsed Measure G<\/a>, the LA County good government reform package on the November 2024 ballot. The editorial highlights the need for structural changes to fix long standing issues, including the county\u2019s fragmented leadership and lack of adequate representation for its diverse population. Measure G seeks to address these concerns with a package of reforms to increase accountability, transparency, and inclusivity of LA County government.<\/p>\n“In other words, Measure G would finally bring to the county the same sorts of checks and balances that have been the cornerstone of good government throughout the nation\u2019s history,” the editorial explains.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0LA Times<\/em>\u00a0also pointed out that the current structure of the County government is “hampered by a structure that invites stasis and is ill-suited to addressing problems such as homelessness, poverty, inequity, injustice \u2014 exactly those challenges assigned to county government. Measure G is the way forward.”<\/p>\nLindsey P. Horvath, LA County Board of Supervisors Chair and co-author of the measure, welcomed the endorsement and emphasized the importance of this moment for the future of the county.<\/p>\n
\u201cLA County voters deserve a government that works for them,\u201d said\u00a0Chair Horvath<\/strong>. \u201cThe\u00a0LA Times’\u00a0<\/em>endorsement underscores how vital Measure G is to ensuring that our government is more responsive, inclusive, and transparent. These reforms will help us tackle the most pressing challenges our communities face \u2013 from homelessness to economic inequality. With Measure G, we have the opportunity to create a system that truly reflects and serves all Angelenos.\u201d<\/p>\nMeasure G offers voters a chance this November to bring transformative change to the LA County’s government. By establishing an independent Ethics Commission, requiring public budget hearings, expanding the Board of Supervisors, and creating an elected County Executive, the measure aims to improve responsiveness, transparency, and representation in County government.<\/p>\n
