At 9 p.m., two of the three Los Angeles County ballot initiatives, Measures A, E were winning but Measure G was trailing.
Poll workers Joshua and Siri assist voters at a Los Angeles County vote center at Cal State University Northridge on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024. Los Angeles County voters were favoring Measure A, a tax for homeless services, and Measure E, a tax to benefit the county fire department in smaller cities, according to early election returns Tuesday night.
Measure A, a one-half percent sales tax for homeless services appeared to be leading by nearly 10 percentage points — a comfortable margin. Measure E also was ahead by a smaller margin, only 4 percentage points.The three measures on the ballot are attempts to fix three different problems in Los Angeles County. All require a simple majority for approval.
Measure E would put a tax of 6 cents per square foot on structural improvements, not including parking. The measure will generate about $152 million annually. Measure E only needs a simple majority to pass. • Creates other positions to facilitate budgeting and ethics reform, including an ethics compliance officer, a director of budget and management, and a county legislative analyst. Costs and salaries for these positions are not specified in Measure G.
