  • LA Judge Vetting Meets Metro’s Mobility-Wallet Test — May 26, 2026

    Los Angeles County Bar ratings give voters a guide to judicial candidates, while Metro’s South LA mobility-wallet pilot tests whether flexible transportation funds can close access gaps that cheaper bus fares alone can’t.

    1. Are you wondering whether candidates running for Judgeships in L.A. are qualified to judge? — r/AskLosAngeles (37 pts, 8 comments)

      I am a lawyer (retired.) Every year, I am still asked how to vote for people running for judgeships in Los Angeles. I refer them to the Los Angeles County Bar's **Judicial Elections Evaluation Committee** that evaluates the candidates - and determines their qualifications to serve. The link at the LA County Bar Association is…

    2. Step Back — LA experimented with a “mobility wallet” — basically transportation money low-income residents could spend beyond just Metro fares — so why do that instead of simply making transit cheaper or free? What problem is the wallet trying to solve that a fare discount can’t?Background sources

    # CNN Host to LA Mayor Karen Bass: You Promised To End Homelessness, It's Only Gone Down 17.6%
    |
    Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass acknowledged LA is "not close" to meeting her 2026 promise to end homelessness in an interview with CNN's Elex Michaelson.…

    • “Zero chance I consider voting for Bass. She's been an utter failure.” — r/LosAngeles (14 upvotes)

      Our take: We get why patience is gone: Bass made a huge end-street-homelessness promise and is now explaining why the system fought her. But a 17.6% decline is not nothing; the voter question is whether that reads as measurable progress or a broken promise.

    • “Counterpoint: the Mayor runs all of those services you describe as broken in your area. Council is a legislature, not an executive position.” — r/LosAngeles (74 upvotes)

      Our take: Mostly agree: the mayor is the executive, and blaming bureaucracy only goes so far when you’re the person elected to move it. The caveat is that homelessness in L.A. is split across city, county, courts, providers, and funding streams — but that’s exactly why voters expect a mayor to show command of the maze.
