We're starting this effort by more directly involving Californians in the LA firestorm response and recovery. As we recover, reimagine, and rebuild Los Angeles, we will do it together.
With this new initiative, the state will lead the nation in deliberative democracy, better ensuring decisions are centered on the people's voices.
California's comprehensive effort – utilizing effective and proven tools and strategies – have continually driven down crime rates and saved taxpayer money.
Make no mistake, Los Angeles will use this money wisely.
