L.A. CONTROLLER LAURA CHICK

Lauded Former L.A. City Controller Laura Chick Appears in Digital Ad for Neighborhoods Against DWP Power Grab Campaign

LOS ANGELES, CA — On the heels of former L.A. City Controller Laura Chick’s published opinion editorial in the L.A. Daily News underscoring her opposition to L.A. Charter Amendment RRR, today the Neighborhoods Against the DWP Power Grab released a 30-second online ad featuring the City’s beloved former taxpayer watchdog. In the ad, Chick urges Angelenos to reject Charter Amendment RRR and calls it a “bad deal for the people of L.A.”

To watch the digital ad, click on the link below:

Former L.A. City Controller Laura Chick’s audio in the ad states:

“It took a lot of hard work for me to earn the title of L.A.’s taxpayer watchdog. With that title comes a great sense of responsibility. That’s why it’s my duty to tell you that Charter Amendment RRR is a bad deal for the people of L.A. It reduces voters’ say. It limits your decision-making powers over multi-million dollar contracts and rate hikes at the Department of Water and Power. It’s no secret that the DWP needs reform, but RRR means less accountability, not more. Vote No.”
