Gang tax advances
The Los Angeles City Council moved Friday to ask voters in February to approve a $30 parcel tax on every city property owner to raise funds to fight gangs. Daily News.
In a 12-0 vote without comment, the council instructed the City Attorney's Office to craft language for a ballot measure on the plan.
The move comes despite public opposition this week from City Controller Laura Chick, who has vowed to fight the measure if the council sends it to voters before her audit of city gang programs is completed.
