'Five little queens' will be nine, as Measure G backers claim victory

"The people of Los Angeles County have made history in passing Measure G. We will now have the ability to fix what is broken," said Supervisor Lindsey Horvath.

"This time, the proposal, combined with the other restructuring measures, won over a slim majority of voters in the Nov. 5 election."

"By 2026, the county will create an independent ethics commission, responsible for disciplining county officials found guilty of misconduct and cracking down on a 'revolving door' from government posts to lobbying."

"By 2028, voters will elect a county executive, who will function similar to a mayor, overseeing department heads, drafting the budget and wielding veto power over the board's policies."
