The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted this week to advance their ‘Re-Imagining LA County’ proposal; slashing $880 million from law enforcement while re-locating the funds towards “social programs.”
“BREAKING: L.A. County Board of Supervisors votes 4-1 to put ‘Reimagining L.A. County’ proposal on November ballot for voters. It would strip $880 million away from Sheriff’s Department, court system, DA’s office, and redistribute it to low income areas/social programs,” posted a reporter with Fox Los Angeles.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger was the lone "no" vote, saying this proposal was rushed, wasn't transparent, had no feedback from stakeholders, and could result in job cuts to county employees as well as budget issues down the road. Other Supervisors say let the voters decide.

The proposal would mandate at least 10% of NCC (net county cost) funding would be earmarked towards social programs, and law enforcement/legal system would be restricted from using that money in the future. Current NCC is $8.8 billion, so 10% would be $880 million set aside.

CHAOS LA: Los Angeles City Council Proposes ‘Unarmed Social Workers’ Instead of LAPD for Emergencies
Members of the Los Angeles City Council left millions of concerned citizens scratching their heads this week; urging first responders to deploy “Unarmed Social Workers” instead of police officers for some emergencies.
“Los Angeles City Council members believe they have an answer to minimize deaths at the hands of LAPD officers. Have unarmed mental health workers deal with the people instead. The proposal is an emergency-response model using trained ‘specialists’ instead of LAPD officers to attend those who are suffering from mental health and substance abuse, including the homeless,” reports TheGreggJarrett.com.
