LA County Democrats Join Opposition to Inglewood Measure BB

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party has officially endorsed a "No" vote on Measure BB, aligning with a broad coalition of local leaders and residents in Inglewood. The November 3 ballot initiative, backed by stadium interests, faces intense criticism for potentially stripping the city of vital public revenue streams.

Measure BB would effectively revoke the city's authority to collect advertising revenue from public property billboards. This shift threatens to eliminate approximately $8 million in annual funding currently earmarked for public safety, park maintenance, senior services, and essential street repairs. While the city loses its income, the stadium-sponsored advertising infrastructure would remain operational.

Oliver Unaka, campaign manager for Inglewood Residents for Stadium Accountability, described the proposal as a "Billionaires' Bailout." He noted the contradiction of allowing giant stadium screens to continue generating revenue while city-managed funds are forced to dry up. The party’s endorsement bolsters a campaign already supported by Mayor James T. Butts, Housing Commissioner Keokia Childress, and various faith leaders. For these opponents, the vote represents a fundamental choice about whether Inglewood retains the financial capacity to support its own community infrastructure.
