LAPD and policing have been pretty hot topics at the Charter Reform Commission and it's finally back on the agenda this Thursday (4 pm). The ad hoc committee tossed out the reform proposals, but there seems to be space on the agenda to bring some ideas back.

TUESDAY (3/3) @ 3 PM, City Hall, Room 1010: More changes to LA's Charter are up for a vote on: - how LA's budget happens; - the future of City Charter reform; & - Neighborhood Council reform recommendations by LANCC & BONC More meeting & Zoom info: bit.ly/FRLA26
