The people of Los Angeles are rethinking and remaking how we govern ourselves. In the nation's 250th year, we are confronted with stark reminders of the existential importance of oversight, checks and balances, ethics and accountability. Good governance is a cornerstone of liberty, and is the issue of our time – in the U.S., and in its largest local government, Los Angeles County. And in all of the municipalities of the region we collectively call L.A.

Los Angeles Rules tracks, investigates and queries the changes already underway and those still to come. A Governance Reform Task Force is diving deep into the mechanics of implementing Measure G, a sweeping county overhaul that voters passed in 2024\. Candidates will soon file to become the first-ever elected L.A. county executive. The Los Angeles City Council is reopening discussion on a host of broadly debated reforms that it recently rejected. A central question lies at the core of these debates: How can we best deliver freedom, fairness, health, safety and prosperity to ourselves, our families, and our near and distant neighbors?

The goal of Los Angeles Rules is to follow the process and keep asking the questions.

Posts include my reporting as published by news outlets, and as the 2026-2027 [John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation](https://haynesfoundation.org/?ref=losangelesrules.com) fellow. They include annotated video highlights from Board of Supervisors, GRTF and City Council meetings using the SeeGov platform, comparisons with events in other governments around the country, and my thoughts and comments. I do not keep my opinions to myself.

“Los Angeles Rules” means the laws, guidelines and norms we choose in order to govern ourselves, but it also expresses my feelings about the place where I have lived almost my entire life. Los Angeles rules.
