洛杉矶选民11月3日决定10项地方措施并选市议员与市检察官

美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市——11月3日周二,洛杉矶选民将就10项地方措施投票,并选出两名市议员与一名市检察官。据当地媒体11月1日报道,洛杉矶市选民将决定6项市宪章修正案与2项税收相关措施,洛杉矶县选民将决定2项县宪章修正案。
市级税收措施中,FD措施提议将销售税提高半个百分点,为洛杉矶消防局每年新增3.45亿美元:全市销售税将从10.25%升至10.75%,资金用于新建消防站、增加招聘与升级装备。洛杉矶市消防员工会称,全市消防局现有约3400名消防员、106个消防站,这一数字自1960年代以来未变;该措施是对2025年1月大火的回应,那场大火摧毁了太平洋帕利塞兹数千栋房屋、造成12人死亡。支持者包括消防员工会、洛杉矶市长 Karen Bass 与市议员;反对者为洛杉矶警察保护联盟与霍华德·贾维斯纳税人协会,理由是加税将进一步加重居民负担、应由市政府全额拨款。
TE措施为太平洋帕利塞兹业主提供一次性豁免:业主在火灾后五年内出售房产,可免缴4%至5.5%的所谓「豪宅税」(ULA措施),适用房产为售价540万美元以上的房产。市议员 Traci Park、Bass、市议会主席 Marqueece Harris-Dawson 与帕利塞兹社区委员会等表示支持;市议员 Eunisses Hernandez 曾对豁免被私人公司、投资者或拥有多套房产者利用表示担忧。
6项市宪章修正案分别为:EE措施(伦理与治理改革:竞选财务违规最高罚款提至1.5万美元,伦理委员会委员离任后至少五年内不得竞选市级职务或洛杉矶联合学区教委,赋予洛杉矶警察局监察长与消防局独立评估员启动调查与审计的权力,市议会开会要求从每周至少三次改为每周一次);LA措施(基建与预算:制定资本基建计划、实行两年预算周期、扩大公共工程局局长权力、允许市政府出售产品与抵押市有房产);PL措施(规划与土地使用:扩大规划局对许可申请的权力、限制市议会对规划议题的管辖权、以一个上诉委员会取代规划局七个区域委员会);PRK措施(公园经费:10年内公园经费占比从0.00325%提至0.065%);PRT措施(专营部门:港口、机场与水电部门,含港口滨水公共通道投入、66年租期、机场委员会7名成员中5名须为机场所在社区居民);SC措施(明确市选举竞选规则同样适用于洛杉矶联合学区教委选举)。
市议会方面,第三选区(Tarzana、Woodland Hills、Canoga Park、Reseda、Winnetka一带)将在商人 Tim Gaspar 与曾任洛杉矶县监事 Lindsey Horvath 政府雇员的 Barri Worth Girvan 之间选出一人,接替任期届满的 Bob Blumenfield;第九选区(南洛杉矶)将在加州人社区赋权联盟洛杉矶分会联合主任 Estuardo Mazariegos 与前任市议员 Curren Price 的副幕僚长 Jose Ugarte 之间选出一人,接替任期届满的 Price。市检察官方面,加州副总检察长 Marissa Roy 与洛杉矶县副地区检察长 John McKinney 对决,10月最后一周公布的加州大学伯克利分校民调显示 Roy 领先17个百分点。
县级两项措施为:A措施(禁止公共安全人员罢工,含部分消防员、县警副警长、法医部门雇员、地区检察官调查员、救生员、主管与非行政文职人员,未决劳资纠纷强制仲裁;相关工会表示支持,批评者称这将剥夺县监事会最终报价的杠杆);E措施(将独立伦理委员会写入章程,执行竞选财务法并监督利益冲突,同时恢复2020年选民通过的J措施资金要求,即至少10%资金用于青年发展、职业培训、小企业支持与监禁替代措施;2024年通过的G措施在设立独立伦理委员会的同时废除了J措施的资金要求)。

Los Angeles Voters to Decide 10 Local Measures and Elect Council Members and a City Attorney on November 3
LOS ANGELES, California — On Tuesday, November 3, Los Angeles voters will decide 10 local measures and elect two council members and a city attorney. Local media reported on November 1 that Los Angeles city voters will decide six City Charter amendments and two tax-related measures, while county voters will consider two County Charter changes.
Among the city tax measures, Measure FD would raise the sales tax by half a cent to provide an additional $345 million a year for the Los Angeles Fire Department: the city's sales tax would rise from 10.25% to 10.75%, with the money used to build new fire stations, increase hiring and upgrade equipment. The firefighters' union said the department has about 3,400 firefighters across 106 fire stations, a number unchanged since the 1960s; the proposal came in response to the January 2025 fires that destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades and killed 12 people. Supporters include the firefighters' union, Mayor Karen Bass and council members; opponents, the Los Angeles Police Protective League and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, argue the tax would further burden residents and that the city should fully fund the department instead.
Measure TE would give Pacific Palisades property owners a one-time exemption from the so-called "mansion tax," or Measure ULA: owners who sell within five years of the Palisades fire would receive relief from the 4% to 5.5% tax on property sales above $5.4 million. Councilwoman Traci Park, Bass, Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson and the Palisades Community Council are among its supporters; Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez raised concerns earlier this year about how the exemption could be used by private companies, investors or people with portfolios of properties.
The six City Charter amendments are: Measure EE (ethics and governance reform: raising the maximum fine for campaign finance violations to $15,000, barring ethics commissioners from running for city office or the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education for at least five years after leaving the commission, empowering the LAPD inspector general and the LAFD independent assessor to open investigations and audits, and changing the City Council meeting requirement from at least three times a week to once a week); Measure LA (infrastructure and budgeting: a capital infrastructure plan, a two-year budget cycle, more authority for the director of the Department of Public Works, and allowing the city to sell products and mortgage city property); Measure PL (planning and land use: more authority for the Department of Planning over permit applications, limits on the City Council asserting jurisdiction over planning issues, and replacing the Department of City Planning's seven regional area commissions with one appeals board); Measure PRK (parks funding: raising the parks funding share from 0.00325% to 0.065% over 10 years); Measure PRT (proprietary departments: the Harbor Department, Los Angeles World Airports and the Department of Water and Power, including more waterfront public-access spending, lease terms of up to 66 years, and a requirement that five of seven airport commissioners live in airport-host communities); and Measure SC (clarifying that city election campaign rules also apply to LAUSD Board of Education elections).
For the City Council, the Third District (Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, Reseda and Winnetka) will choose between businessman Tim Gaspar and Barri Worth Girvan, a former government employee who worked for L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, succeeding termed-out Bob Blumenfield; the Ninth District (South L.A.) will choose between Estuardo Mazariegos, co-director of the L.A. chapter of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, and Jose Ugarte, a former deputy chief of staff to termed-out Curren Price. For city attorney, California Deputy Attorney General Marissa Roy faces L.A. County Deputy District Attorney John McKinney, with a UC Berkeley poll released in the final week of October showing Roy ahead by 17 points.
The two county measures are: Measure A (banning labour strikes for public safety personnel, including certain fire department employees, sheriff's deputies, Department of Medical Examiner employees, district attorney investigators, lifeguards, supervisors and nonadministrative civilian staff, and mandating binding arbitration for unresolved disputes; the unions representing these employees have endorsed it, while critics argue it would take away the Board of Supervisors' leverage to make a final offer); and Measure E (codifying an independent ethics commission to enforce campaign finance laws and oversee conflicts of interest, and reinstating funding requirements under the 2020 voter-approved Measure J, which requires a minimum 10% of funding for youth development, job training and small-business support, alternatives to incarceration and other areas; the 2024 Measure G, which established the independent ethics commission, had repealed Measure J's funding requirements).
