The separate ballot in LA that you probably haven’t heard of
A separate ballot in Los Angeles, known as a Proposition 218 Ballot Process, was held on June 2 to determine whether property owners will pay a special tax assessment to replace broken streetlights with solar-powered ones. The election was prompted by rampant copper wire theft, which has disabled streetlights across the city. The vote count is ongoing, and results will be announced on June 26.
