Charter Reform

Share

Re “Charter Groups Compromise,” Jan. 21:

Can we create the equivalent of a Nobel Prize for George Kieffer and Erwin Chemerinsky, who appear to have brought order out of chaos as they wrestled with charter reform? Submerging their egos, exercising extraordinary negotiating skills, using humor and suppressing anger, they are giving the citizens of Los Angeles their best opportunity to update and modernize an archaic City Charter. It is a remarkable achievement.

Whereas it is in the nature of compromise to leave all parties somewhat dissatisfied, their persistence and determination will provide Los Angeles an opportunity to enter the 21st century with pride and a true sense of accomplishment.
