Remarks from the Honorable Eric Garcetti

Los Angeles has created a record number of jobs under his watch, with Mayor Garcetti creating immediate and future opportunity by implementing a program that will  raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2020, cutting the city business tax, making two years of community college  free, launching the nation's largest anti-homeless and affordable housing initiatives, and spearheading the passage of the nation's largest local infrastructure plan, the $120 billion  Measure M.

 

Los Angeles was named  America’s top digital cityin 2016 and 2017 by the Center for Digital Government and, this year, the Bloomberg Foundation selected Los Angeles as the only city to receive its top  Gold certificationfor excellence in city governance.

 

Mayor Garcetti is a leader among his peers, serving as Chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Infrastructure Task Force and as Chair of the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, which organized 392 “Climate Mayors,” representing 69 million Americans, to commit to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement after President Trump’s withdrawal from the accord.
