And then there were nine. With the passage of Measure G, L.A. County’s Board of Supervisors will grow by four new members. Former longtime supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky commented in the Los Angeles Times’ coverage of the historic shift in the county government’s makeup. Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA Luskin, expects that the new seats will attract an army of candidates, and the new position of chief executive position will be “the most powerful elected local government official in the state of California.” The chief executive post could prove alluring to sitting supervisors, he added, which would grant one “lucky politician” what he described as “the biggest bully pulpit in Southern California.” Yaroslavsky, who served on the board for two decades, added that, at nearly 76 years old, he’s not interested. “There might have been a time, but not now.”
