I SMELL A PLOT: “In its historic vote today, the City of Los Angeles is taking charge of its health services and moving to control its own destiny with regard to the health and welfare of its citizens through the creation of this L.A. City Health Commission,” said Michael Weinstein, president of AIDS Healthcare Foundation and one of the five named proponents of the ballot initiative. “The commission presents a golden opportunity for increased accountability and input to City officials—and residents—regarding health services provided to the city. For many, the status quo was simply not working. Today, there is a new day dawning in the City and County of Los Angeles. This could and should be a partnership that improves health outcomes while better targeting and deploying health services to city residents. We thank the City Council for recognizing the need for, and importance of creating such a city health commission.” Eric Paul Leue, Al Benson, Ken Howard
