City Council President Paul Krekorian said LA governance should be up to the voters in the city.
Mayor Karen Bass and other dignitaries look on as the city hall is lit during a LA for All celebration as part of a weeklong campaign in solidarity against hate and discrimination in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 28, 2023. Los Angeles City Council Member Paul Krekorian during the Greater San Fernando Valley Chamber of Commerce 2023 State of the Valley luncheon in Universal City, September 7, 2023.
“As I have said all along, decisions about how to govern Los Angeles should be left to the voters of Los Angeles, not mandated by Sacramento,” Krekorian said in a statement. “The governor’s veto puts that question to rest with finality, and I am grateful to him for that.” Under the current system, city council districts are drawn up by a panel whose members are appointed by the council, which then has the final say on those boundaries.
“That’s why my first action as Council president was to create the Ad Hoc Committee on City Governance Reform,” he added.“After an exhaustive process, that committee has produced a detailed plan that will take redistricting out of the hands of the Council completely and give it to a truly independent commission,” Krekorian said in a statement.
