Mayor Karen Bass is asking LA's city council to pass an ordinance that would exempt Pacific Palisades transactions from ULA, the city's transfer tax.
Of note: "The letter follows a meeting with Rick Caruso, founder of Steadfast LA, who proposed ideas to help address this issue"

Even if you aren't attending these, please sign it.
You SHOULD, but they can be hard to attend. Making remote public available means you can zoom in and add your voice to critical changes like Ranked Choice Voting, how police are punished, and how we deal with corrupt politicians.

We *need* to get the commission’s support behind these changes at this Wednesday’s meeting.
They are breaking off into committees and don’t have another full commission meeting scheduled until November 19th.

Next week the Charter Reform Commission will be deliberating on potential reforms re: Budget, Personnel, & Periodic Charter Review.
They should also be considering changes that would require them to provide remote public comment at meetings.
