California: LA voters went to the polls on ballot measures yesterday
Los Angeles voters took two steps toward reforming Department of Water and Power operations by handing early leads Tuesday to ballot measures that would create a DWP ratepayer advocate and make the agency’s budget process more transparent. The first returns in the city election showed majorities favoring Charter Amendments I, which would set up a DWP Office of Public Accountability, and J, which would require the department to submit its spending plans to the City Council earlier than it does now.
