Measure A, which aims to double the quarter-cent sales tax for homeless services in Los Angeles County, is intended to ensure consistent funding for essential services but faced early approval mixed with Measure G's controversial implications.
Measure G proposes a significant expansion of the county Board of Supervisors, increasing its size from five to nine and creating a new elected executive position, designed to rectify outdated governance and enhance accountability.
Supporters claim Measure G will modernize the governance structure of L.A. County by instituting an ethics commission and reducing the massive constituent load on supervisors. Critics, however, warn of a hasty process in implementing such sweeping changes.
The introduction of a new ethics commission aims to address corruption within county politics, with goals of punishing corrupt officials and addressing the rotation of officials into lobbying roles, reflecting community calls for more transparency and accountability.
