Questions & Answers

1. What steps would you take to reduce the possibility of favoritism or corruption when reassessing property in Los Angeles County?

1. I will treat all taxpayers the same, ensuring the same high-quality response to inquiries to all residents seeking service.
2. I support the ban on contributions from "tax agents," to prevent any appearance of political favoritism.
3. I support limiting appraiser discretion when settling assessment disputes and requiring verification by supervisors when enrolling assessment values.

2. Should the Assessor's Office be audited more frequently?

Yes. Over the last two years, the Assessor's Office has had Management, Fiscal and Forecasting audits. Best practices in government include regular audits, and if elected, I will require regular audits over operations, management, and fiscal accountability.
