Congratulations LA County Board of Supervisors

From LACounty Supervisor Lindsey Horvath -

Angelenos wanted change, and we listened. That’s why I, along with Supervisor Janice Hahn, put forward the most meaningful reform to LA County governance in 100 years. The Board placed our proposal on the ballot, and it will now be up to the people to decide this November.

"More Seats at the Table"

First, there were "five little Kings." Now, there are "five little Queens." And soon, Los Angeles County voters will decide if the ranks of the powerful Board of Supervisors could swell to nine.

The board on Tuesday placed a measure on the November ballot for the most sweeping structural changes to county governance in more than 100 years.

The proposal has three main components:

• Expanding the size of the board from five to nine Supervisors.

• Creating a County Executive position that is elected by the voters.

• Forming a new independent ethics commission.
