  4. A decade of trying to raise L.A.'s sales tax

    The half-cent sales tax increase proposal on the March 5 ballot known as Proposition A has been around for a long time in many guises, sometimes as a county tax, sometimes a city tax. Threats and reasons offered by Los Angeles city officials have included, in essence, pass it or <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2005/feb/10/local/me-coptax10">risk another riot</a>; pass it or <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2002/nov/08/local/me-baca8">risk a terrorist attack</a>; pass it to <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2004/oct/19/local/me-measurea19">fight a (nonexistent) surge in crime</a>; pass it to <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2004/dec/17/local/me-gangs17">fund a new gang-prevention department</a>. The only time it actually came before voters, they rejected it. In other instances, county and city officials refused to put it on the ballot in the first place.

  6. Eric Garcetti for mayor

    Los Angeles is an underachieving city led in recent decades by a succession of underachieving mayors &mdash; people who came in with big dreams or big talk but soon got bored with the day-to-day task of steering a municipality. Voters don't get to conduct a casting call or sift through hundreds of applicants until they identify the ideal candidate, but must instead choose from a field prescreened by the political and fundraising processes. This year that field fails to include a candidate who stands out as the obviously superior choice. The task for voters then becomes to scrutinize track records, eliminate the worst hazards and seek potential that can be forged, with the proper pressure and continued voter vigilance, into accomplishment.

  7. No on Proposition A

    The city of Los Angeles is facing a deep budget deficit for the seventh consecutive year, and City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana says there is no end in sight. The cost of city services, particularly labor costs, is expected to grow faster than revenue, even as the economy recovers from the 2008-09 recession. The solution, according to Santana and City Council President Herb Wesson, is Proposition A, which would raise the city's sales tax by half a percent. But with voters about to install a new mayor, controller and up to eight new council members, now is not the time to take that step. The Times urges a no vote on Proposition A.
