Amendment ER

VOTE YES

Amendment ER enhances the powers of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission, giving it more authority to enforce ethics rules and improve transparency in city government.

Why We Support Amendment ER:

We support Amendment ER because it addresses the pressing need for stronger ethics oversight in Los Angeles. Corruption scandals and unethical behavior have plagued city governance, eroding public trust. By enhancing the Ethics Commission’s powers, this amendment ensures that violations are investigated thoroughly and that accountability measures are enforced. Strengthening the commission’s ability to investigate and penalize ethical violations acts as a deterrent against corruption and misconduct.

The amendment also promotes greater transparency in city government, making it easier for the public to trust that their elected officials are acting in their best interests. Increasing the authority and resources available to the Ethics Commission empowers it to carry out its mission effectively, providing a much-needed safeguard against unethical practices. This reform is essential for rebuilding public confidence in city governance and promoting a cleaner, more transparent government.
