Vote YES for a safer L.A.
Fix the street lights and keep them working
Look for your special assessment ballot in the mail
You may have already received an envelope
like this one from the L.A. City Clerk,
and that envelope contains a special ballot
that is different from your regular ballot for
the June 2nd election. If you want to make
our City and your neighborhood safer, vote
YES to allow the Bureau of Street Lighting
to increase the assessment from property
owners for the first time in 30 years to turn
the lights on – and keep the lights on.
Why is this measure needed?
The Bureau of Street Lighting in L.A. hasn’t
received additional funds for the past
30 years. Meanwhile, 60,000 lights are
not working because they are broken and
thieves have stolen copper wire. And there
are only 185 employees whose job it is to
keep 223,000 lights working.
