LOS ANGELES—Homeless encampments would be banned, the development of temporary emergency shelters would be prioritized, and the salaries of elected officials who failed to meet those goals would be reduced under a ballot measure introduced by Councilman Joe Buscaino, who is running for mayor.
The language for the proposal was submitted to the Los Angeles City Clerk on Jan. 28, according to the Safer Streets LA campaign. The city clerk and the city attorney will review it before organizers are given the green light to collect the required 65,000 signatures to place it on the November ballot.
