Supervisors Hilda Solis, Holly Mitchell and Sheila Kuehl voted no prior to any discussion or public comment, causing the proposal to immediately fail for a lack of a majority from the five-member board. It was a rare outcome for this board, which typically at least entertains discussion and holds a vote on items facing opposition.
Supervisor Kathryn Barger authored the motion calling for the board notification and proposing that the specific location of any placement be revealed to the board member representing that district. [View the motion here.]
Barger issued a statement after the vote expressing her dismay and vowing to aggressively push for advanced notification to her constituents.
“It is essential that placements of sexually violent predators into local communities are made with the collaboration of all those impacted to ensure that appropriate services are provided and public safety is ensured,” she said. “I am disappointed that my colleagues have chosen to turn their backs on what should be a fair and equitable process to provide a voice for everyone involved.”
The three supervisors who voted against notification did not comment on their reasoning, as the matter was considered as part of the board’s consent calendar. However, the board has adopted a “care first, jails last” philosophy that focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment and has championed various efforts to provide community support for inmates who are granted release.

Sick and tired of it all! says
Time to get rid of ALL of them.
Why the hell would anyone think that a pedophile deserves privacy or protection?
Pedophiles should be given 2 choices – only AFTER they serve their entire sentence. If they want back into society, the victim, their family, or a surrogate can take a cattle-prod to his ass, electrocute him in the b’s, and cut off his little weapon (his little d), or 2) Stay where he belongs – in prison in gen pop where he can be enjoyed every single day. It’s all part of the ridiculous “equity” movement.
It’s long overdue for us to turn CA RED. The Democrats have done NOTHING GOOD for CA.
Get rid of Antifa, BLM, Proud Boys, Critical Race Theory, and illegal aliens! Stop welfare for most of those who are already on it. Stop social security disability for most of those who already get it. If someone is incapable if performing their job there should be mandatory retraining. You will NEVER convince me that so many people can’t perform ANY type of work. I see the fraud every single day but I’m prohibited from reporting it.
Stop all the freebies and benefits for illegals immediately, and FINISH THE WALL. Stop birthright citizenship! NO automatic citizenship unless born to a LEGAL permanent resident who has applied for citizenship.
Stop the unemployment benefits for anyone who refuses to return to their job. Hire more fraud investigators!
Claire says
Sexually violent predators can’t be rehabilitated! When a released sexual predator strikes again destroying a life, I believe this group should be held accountable.
Time To Go says
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors should immediately resign. This is one of the most ineffective boards I have ever seen representing LAC.

… blue state logic, the murderers, the rapists, the pedophiles, the hoodlums, the punks and the gangbangers are people, too. And, the only reason they wound up in jail, white supremacy, systemic racism –
Ruben says
And, de-funding police, creating CHOP zones, reverse-racism policy, looting small business, bankrupting the federal government, ceding control of America’s southern border to the drug cartels makes everything alright!
Danielle says
Hand it to these darling democrats, doubling my price of food, doubling my tab at the gas pump makes every little thing my life hunky dory.
Democrat Dave says
So, Danielle
You liked 2020 much better with the Republicans?
Did you forget last year when Trump said it was a hoax and dilly dallied while the pandemic killed 600,000 Americans? How about 1/6. Did you forget that too?
Take Prevagen for your memory.
There. Fixed it for ya.
Matt says
Mic drop???
Mike says
Trump never said COVID was a hoax. Go back and read the record. He said their politicization of the issue was a hoax. He CLEARLY acknowledged the threat of COVID early on in the pandemic when he closed our borders to China and was called a racist by the Demoncrats because of it. Why don’t you mention that in your rant?
Jan 6th was far less of an issue than the BLM and Antifa riots that started last summer and are still going on to this day with the looting and burning of major cities across the entire nation. Get real.
Democrat Dave says
Hey, Mike
You forgot your Prevagen. And, load up on some bran flakes too.
Did you forget “Hang Pence”?
Did you forget that the whole purpose of the rally and insurrection was to overturn the election that the Congress was certifying that day. BLM didn’t come close to doing anything like that.
So Trump didn’t “politicize” the pandemic when he downplayed it for months, saying it would end in a few weeks, by Easter 2020.
Please tell us how Democrats made it a hoax. You mean there wasn’t a COVID pandemic and the Democrats made it up when they criticized Trump’s crap response. Trump was just covering his butt the next day when he “clarified” the hoax comment. He does that.
40,000 more people came from China after he supposedly stopped flights. Meanwhile, infected people from Europe were the source of the crisis in New York but Trump didn’t stop flights from Europe.
Oh, Mike. Give it up. You are on the wroooooong side of this.
BTW Trump will go to prison/s for other crimes, lots of them.

No,
Just 2 billion in damages and insurance claims,
140 cities nationwide swallowed by violent protest,
Violent riots, property destruction, arson, destruction of federal buildings,
25 dead, including 1 dead former police officer.
As opposed to 600 or so folks meandering into the Capitol.
You guys call it the Jan 6th insurrection.
We’ll call it the Jan 6th meandering.
You can only wish that the event was worse then it really was. But all you have is the actual Jan 6th event to inflate into something it really wasn’t shows how pathetic and weak you are.
Beecee means ignorant in Latin says
Beecee drank the Orange KookAid.
She now says that 1/6 was “people meangering”.
5 people died and hunreds are in jail awaiting trial.
Beecee has shown once and for all time just how ignorant she is and always will be.
She writes>

Can she be any worse than the guys who stormed the Capital? Yes, indeed.
Beecee means ignorant in Latin says
Rudy Giuliani had his law license suspended for pushing the BIG LIE, the one the Beecee swallowed.
The judge excoriated Rudy and he should do the same with Beecee.
Or maybe I should do it.
Beecee says
Sounds like political persecution to me.
And to no surprise you Marxist scum support that.
Democrat Dave says
Oh, Beecee
The folks at MSNBC are a way ahead of you.
They said you would call it a “political prosecution”.
They know and I know that you don’t know s***.
Get help soon, Beecee. You are descending into madness with your “Marxist scum” talk. It says more about you that it does about Karl.
Marixist? Trump wanted the DOJ to go after his “enemies” in the press. Trump told his advisors to shoot the protests last summer. When Barr tried to stop that talk, Trump toned it down by saying “Just shoot them in the legs.”
You aren’t or can’t pay attention, can you?
That’s your guy, Putin’s boyfriend.
Beecee says
MSNBC….
Lol @ democrat ‘gay’ve
Claire says
Justifying violence tears this nation apart. We are going to pay a big price for lawless deeds, Whatever the label : BLM, ANTIFA, Trump supporters, KKK, Proud Boys, QAnon, etc..
Do nothing Dems says
Here in clown world we honor our sexual predators and put them before our hard working honest citizens.
Once again amazed says
Very sad day when sexually violent predators take precedence over their sexually violated victims and potential victims- and without even a discussion on the matter. Pathetic! Thank you, Supervisor Barger, for attempting to put your constituents first!
