- LA property owners vote down streetlight fee increase
Los Angeles property owners rejected a proposal to increase annual fees for streetlight repairs, with nearly 80% of weighted votes opposing the measure. The city's streetlight budget, frozen since the 1990s, requires nearly $112 million for upcoming fiscal year needs but will remain at $45 million after the rejection. Mayor Karen Bass and city leaders pledged continued commitment to improving streetlighting despite the setback.
