Do we need all these commissions?

At least 14 of Los Angeles County's 201 commissions are ineffective or dormant and should be eliminated, according to a new draft audit obtained by the Daily News.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

The report by Pasadena-based Arroyo Associates Inc. found at least 10 county commissions haven't met for years and are no longer needed, yet they continue to exist on the county's books.

Another four have failed to achieve their goals or have become irrelevant. A handful of others perform overlapping functions with other commissions and should be consolidated.
