A controversial proposal by Los Angeles County Board members to "decarcerate" jails was withdrawn from Tuesday’s agenda after opposition from the public and law enforcement.
The agenda item was titled "Los Angeles County to take Actionable Next Steps to Depopulate and Decarcerate the Los Angeles County Jails."
Introduced by Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis, the proposal outlined that it would "Declare the state of mental health services and overcrowding in the Los Angeles County jails a humanitarian crisis, requiring the County to move with all deliberate speed on meaningful solutions; and prioritize decreasing the number of individuals entering the Los Angeles County Jails."
The board was set to discuss the proposal during Tuesday’s meeting. But Solis said she withdrew the proposal after hearing concerns raised by the public, law enforcement, and other board members.

i personally tweeted,e-mailed and faxed my disapproval. this is stalled now - but we know how these things go with progs. but glad to know there are a few sane Angelenos left.
Require them to stay in LA County.
Good. Are John and Ken still on the air over there? I bet they were (or would be) going bonkers over this.
Gascon is already getting the same results without the County BoS weighing in.
Didn’t the Soros goon DA get recalled there?
First, allow constitutional carry for the whole population.
Give them six months to train.
Then empty the jail.
By the looks of the people in LA County, they are.
There are places in LA County where every other person looks like a parolee.
Thanks !
Who elects these loons?
Oh. Nevermind.
It should never have been proposed in the first place. Thank goodness enough people complained that the empty-headed supervisors dropped it.
here in L A we use “select” rather than “elect.” when Gascon wasn’t recalled - and every leftie i know voted for him to be recalled - i knew Fix was in. since then over a million dead voters were removed from rolls so we’ll see if that changes anything. i hope R officials study how Mike Garcia flipped his seat - i read he mastered ballot harvesting.
These are the politicians whom city voters continue to elect - again and again and again.
These are the consequences: These elected politicians think it’s a good idea to empty the jails and place violent criminals and gang members back onto the streets and into their communities.
The voters are so stupid they don’t see the connection.
No. Every effort to recall the odious Soros-funded Gascon has failed - not enough valid signatures or some other BS reason.
If they wanted less emissions they would increase the car lanes and time series of lights on main roads better to prevent as much idling as possible. Having to unnecessarily repeatedly accelerate from zero is the worst possible thing for emissions.
