HOW TO REALLY END THE REIGN OF JOHNNY DOC
Well, elsewhere, there is some civic uprising against the purveyors of business-as-usual corruption. In Los Angeles, where the City Council rivals ours for sheer dysfunction and corruption, six educational anchor institutions came together to propose solutions. The best and brightest from UCLA, USC, Pomona College, California State University Northridge, Loyola Marymount University, and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at California State Los Angeles joined with regional leaders to form the LA Governance Reform Project. Funded by private philanthropy, the group’s mission sounds like something that’s desperately needed here, where we default to hoping that government can heal itself: To produce independent nonpartisan reform recommendations informed by research and practice that not only informs the policy making process but helps inform broader civic and community engagement.
