If you have a lot of questions/doubts about the new LA City Council Ad Hoc Committee on Charter Review, you're far from alone.
CM McOsker, the Committee Chair, has done his best to try chart out a potential way forward w/ a lengthy motion. 2nd from CM Nazarian.

If Charter Reform was an LA28 Olympic event, the Los Angeles City Council would win Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Delay and Defer All Around.
Let the people decide!

On Wed, LA City Council will decide whether it should be able to make policy for LA’s largest dept (& budget item): LAPD.
Many voters assumed this was the case — nope! Currently, Council only makes RECS to a Board. 😮
Send an email to fix this omission:

The items re: Measure ULA have been continued from today’s meeting to Wednesday. That limits the runway to have real debate on that topic, as well as Charter Reform, & means you’ll probably need to show up at least an hour early to get inside City Hall.
WEDNESDAY (6/17), 10 AM, City Hall:
The FULL Los Angeles City Council meets to decide: which Charter reforms will go to the November ballot?
This is your LAST CHANCE to call for fair representation, and Council expansion ASAP!

“Further study is required” on council expansion is ridiculous. The council wouldn’t actually expand until 2032 anyway, there’s plenty of time to figure out the logistics. Put it on the ballot this year!

Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States, yet has 15 council members. New York City has 51, and Chicago has 50. Furthermore, Los Angeles must switch its voting system from the Louisiana jungle primary to ranked-choice voting. 🧵👇🏿

Unacceptable!
Send this one-click email to remind the Rules Committee that expanding LA’s City Council has been in conversation for YEARS. We don’t need more study — let voters decide!! ⬇️

Voters approved Measure G expecting meaningful accountability reforms, including a truly independent ethics watchdog.
LA County supervisors should not water those reforms down behind closed doors.
