Local Government

Local Government

We support measures to further good government through the support of non-partisanship in local government and the support of legislation which permits increased flexibility in California State law governing general law counties.

Position

We support an assured, stable, adequate and fiscally sound source of funding for the Long Beach Public Library. Following a local study, this position was adopted at the Annual Meeting of the LWV/LBA on May 21, 1997.

Position

We support Police/Community Relations which protect and balance the rights and responsibilities of the police and of the community.

Position

We support a housing policy that recognizes, as a basic need, housing that is affordable, decent, safe and sanitary.

Position

We support a humane and fiscally responsible public social policy.

Position

We support a role for Commissions that emphasizes maximum public participation in the decision making process of government.

Position

We want our city to be attractive, safe, and economically healthy with diversified urban amenities reflecting the desires of its residents and respecting the integrity of its unique assets. Redevelopment, when adopted as a means to this end, should consider personal and social needs as well as economic requirements and should be accountable to the citizens and/or their elected representatives.

Position

We support the following revisions in the objectives of the Long Beach City Government position:

The LWV California campaign helped produce this video in 2015 to restore revenue to schools, public services and infrastructure repair.

Rutgers Eagleton Institute of Politics: Center for American Women and Politics: This organization posts fact sheets on the numbers of women in government

Position

Support a public library system as a basic community service with a long-term, assured, stable, and adequate funding source and support access by all persons to public library services as a major source of knowledge and information necessary for informed, active participation in a democratic society.
