Each year, I'm proud to author a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors motion recognizing Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. May we never forget the innocent lives that were lost, and may we continue to stand with Armenians across the globe.

I've heard loud and clear from residents that permit fees to rebuild are a top concern. The motion I introduced at this week's Board meeting directs our County departments to explore EVERY option to cover the cost so it doesn't fall to residents. I will hear back from departments
