Watch: LA’s New Controller has Plans … for a More Efficient, Accessible City Hall

September 02 2013
Written by Cheryl Getuiza.

CALIFORNIA FORWARD VIDEO - Los Angeles is one of the oldest cities in California. The City is rich with history. A lot of that history lies within City hall, with the data and information to tell a story.   

The City of Angels is also the most populous city in the state, with more than 3.7 million people. You’d think a city this large and this old would be at the forefront of technology. Well, it’s just the opposite. 

California Forward had the opportunity to sit down with the newly elected LA City Controller, Ron Galperin. He took office on July 1, 2013, as the 20th Controller. With less than two months under his belt, the Controller explains his big plans to transform city hall.
