“Government works best when people can easily participate,” Board Chair and Supervisor Hilda Solis said. “By modernizing the public comment process, we are reducing barriers and creating more opportunities for residents across Los Angeles County to make their voices heard.”

Supervisors Holly Mitchell, Lindsey Horvath, Janice Hahn and Kathryn Barger also expressed support for the system, saying it will provide residents with greater flexibility and make it easier to participate in county government.
