County to expand own recognizance releases in municipal court
County supervisors approve adding 10 investigators to the marshal service to boost OR releases for misdemeanor defendants. Seven of the positions are frozen amid talks with judges, with critics urging use of social workers. Officials cite savings in jail days and fiscal relief, arguing the program aids the poor and reduces taxpayer burden.

Supervisors Back Tax Break Plan for California Homeowners
The Los Angeles Supervisors endorsed a property tax reform package that would give homeowners a 2000 exemption, 10 percent of assessed value, and lower overall tax rates while offering renter relief via income tax credits. The plan raises sales, cemetery, and business taxes to offset revenue, and is labeled fully funded with replacement revenues. Chief Administrative Officer Arthur Will backed the proposal, noting it avoids shifting taxes to business taxpayers.

County weighs second stray dog clinic amid growing roaming packs
County officials on Tuesday were urged to study a second spay and neuter clinic for dogs and cats after supervisors complained about a rising stray population. Kenneth Hahn claimed over 1 million dogs in the county with thousands roaming streets, especially Watts-Willowbrook, frightening children. Ernest Debs added that many areas have more dogs and cats than Carter has pills, and Burton Chace urged including beaches where dogs roam freely.
