LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council this week amended and approved a series of proposed ethics-related changes to the City Charter that are expected to go before voters in November.
Council members voted unanimously May 14 to bolster the Ethics Commission, make it more independent and enhance its enforcement powers. Council members also amended four provisions of the proposal in a 13–2 vote—with Councilwoman Nithya Raman and Council President Paul Krekorian opposing those.
