Questions & Answers

1. What steps do you think the Board of Supervisors should take to improve the foster care system and in particular to provide safe emergency or temporary placement for infants and children?

I agree with the Blue Ribbon task forces recommendation that a Childcare Czar or one coordinating entity be appointed to:

"to work with the Board to ensure that all relevant departments are accountable for improved child safety.

That entity should oversee the development of joint strategic plans, including the combining of resources.

It also should be charged with consolidating, prioritizing, implementing, and evaluating reforms mandated by the Board.

In its Final Report, the Commission will highlight the important components of such an entity and recommend a streamlined system for vetting and implementing needed reforms.

Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors and County leadership should be able to answer confidently the question of whether the adopted strategies are improving child safety".

If elected, I will implement the final recommendations of the Commission as soon as possible.

We will be judged in the end by how we treat and care for the youngest and the oldest in LA County.

2. The County Supervisors sit also on the board of the Metropolitan Transit District. What would be your top priorities for the MTA?

To implement and insure that the transportation needs of LA County are met in a timely and professional manner.

3. Do you support the creation of an independent oversight commission for the Sheriff's Department?

Yes and on February 25, 2014, I testified in support of the oversight commission in front of the Board of Supervisors.
