Opinion: Endorsement: Robert Luna for Los Angeles County Sheriff
In a recent editorial board interview, Luna noted that “Villanueva can’t go five days without being in the news, in a bad way. It’s almost like a TV reality show — a bad one.”
Luna has concrete plans: “The first thing that I’m going to focus on is reducing crime and making our streets safer. We are going to hire the best people — job No. 1 is keeping people safe. You can’t reduce crime unless you are working very hard to restore public trust and credibility. I will bring new leadership and accountability, and all of my employees will be held accountable. I will assemble a team of the best and the brightest — it’s about integrity.
Luna’s goal is “to repair all the damaged relationships this man has destroyed, relationships across the board — with the people, the Board of Supervisors, community groups, the oversight organizations — no more us vs. them mentality. I want to hire an independent entity to do a top-to-bottom assessment of the Sheriff’s Department: the budget, the way we investigate.”
On deputy gangs that plague the department: “The first thing is you acknowledge the problem, which he won’t do. Then you fix it. … Let’s roll up our sleeves. Let’s reduce crime through community partnerships, through data, through cooperation. Let’s stop blaming.”To help you make decisions about the numerous candidates, measures, propositions and other races on your ballot, our editorial board , makes recommendations every election.

Are we missing a crucial component of sea-level rise?Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that could potentially trigger or accelerate ice-sheet mass loss. Now, researchers from Stanford University have identified an additional process that could have a similarly significant effect on the ice sheet's future: thawing of the bed, known as basal thaw, at the interface of the land and the miles-thick ice sheet above it.
