In recent weeks, Los Angeles County supervisors and other local leaders have gathered most days at the Hall of Administration to give virtual updates about how the coronavirus outbreak is unfolding.
The parallel actions have created confusion about who is in charge of the crisis response, and as a result, some disjointed public messaging.
“The irony is, in November, the sheriff was engaged and made some edits,” she said, adding that the item was originally scheduled for last Tuesday’s meeting but it was canceled. “The allegations he’s making are disappointing because I don’t know where it’s coming from.” “I think the sheriff erroneously believes that centering the response to this crisis to the Office of Emergency Management is somehow a dis to him,” Kuehl said. “And yet I can’t imagine that anyone would say that the sheriff should be coordinating all the health departments and the homelessness outreach and placement in housing — these are all different areas of the county that have grown up since we first had that old ordinance.
“The idea that the county’s top cop should not be the person in charge of this emergency situation is basically as strong of a rebuke and vote of no confidence as I can imagine,” said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School. “It’s hard to read it as anything other than ‘we don’t trust you, we don’t trust your judgment, we don’t think you can run things.’”
Early Wednesday, Villanueva tweeted that the Sheriff’s Department’s “efforts to close nonessential businesses have been suspended” and that Gov. Gavin Newsom would “determine what qualifies” as nonessential.
