Talk:Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors

"Former" supervisors

In the detailed lists of supervisors from the past, it appears to me to be unnecessary to call them "former supervisors". It'd be sufficient to say "Supervisors 1881-1893" or "Board of Supervisors" or whatever. It's especially jarring to call people who are still in office "former supervisors". ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Original research

The article has very few references and a lot of the piece seems to be from somebody's personal knowledge of what goes on. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:07, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Neutral Point of View

Sections of this article come off as very critical of the Board and its structure while other sections are sort of triumphant about the establishment of the board. I've tried to make these sections more neutral in line with Wikipedia's Wikipedia: Neutral Point of View policy. If anyone feels I've overdone it or that I've cut something that should be included, please definitely speak up.

The deletion of the section about the "five little kings" was inappropriate. The phrase is widely known and used. It's mentioned in a 2019 California civics textbook and a a 2006 book about Los Angeles progressive politics. Most recently, in 2019 the Los Angeles Times ran an article about how the phrase is no longer appropriate because the board is now majority female. I'm planning to restore that point with citations to these sources in a few weeks. --Coolcaesar (talk) 06:45, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Rent moratorium

As you considering extending the rent moratorium, please take under consideration the freeloaders and how they are impacting the landlords. I say this because I have a freeloader in one of my units. He is currently working and not paying any rent not even the 25%. He is not answering my calls nor my text messages. I have currently invited him to seek assistance through Housing is Key and he has yet to respond. I am requesting, beseeching and literally begging you to put more thought into what you are doing with this rent moratorium. It is one thing to help those that are in need; it is another to enable freeloaders to take full advantage of landlords. The rent has not been raised in three years and the expenses are increasing. I am paying for the insurance and all the related cost and have no rights. Where is the justice in this? 47.154.120.66 (talk) 07:48, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
