Measure FD Passes, Bringing New Funding to LAFD

Los Angeles voters have approved Measure FD, an initiative to increase the city’s sales tax by 0.5%, which goes toward funding the Los Angeles Fire Department. The measure, which passed with 53.7% of voters in favor, will raise the city’s sales tax rate from 10.25% to 10.75%. Angelenos voted in support of the additional funding following years of concerns surrounding the department’s resources, staffing and ability to respond to emergencies across the city.

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints.
