USE YOUR VOICE-Our city of Los Angeles oversees dozens of departments which provide services to over four million people.
Yet, we Angelenos never have a chance to provide feedback on their performance or efficiency. That also goes for our elected officials. Outside of an election year, rarely do we have a chance to let our officials know how we think they are doing.
**That changes today.**
Please join us by completing your first annual City Services Report Card and let your voice be heard!
Access the Report Card at: **[http://bit.ly/LAreportcard](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001g2Maj_--MPMcjyb9JjegIIwUrv91r8aIzDKo6K0W24vfUYQtON8O6Od4Amco8kvo_itW3xar8xEMFs1EP0-zPzWplmUTVGsRWn9r5SjsIZIRjOVgNj1xmdA3rv1vc6Anku-qx6Fwp90v7PWGjNir3bRhpDvTTgQ-9-pCsxfKdRo19KAPJEpgMTl43ix8dQJqdaK_tRO2qgb8xs2AIkVLzPOwC8E0GMc7qDwQWNZyAB_KbmmQ-qRUCDMYPZUlVqbxbPFqBUxFUmlp-suXghEnRK9EyKx6ldWJ7R9-8-K0O1PHlmhxITJp_ihWIZejqw_tSpImkxnMtj1K0kccwuvYeU8J9G14w44cZj0HvI_9EtZN9TKdkGVW0AbE1jc4NowFTRlnUrjC5iiszlE3Buj4qBlDR5nlIvyX8efKBTsUykFK1KwBRCtmVZ6ZQho94xRp_5UtnMy0LfyC1iv_GstZx9fqlBCNyYsXusKJUTlcTzuCVO1nbO7Tyg==&c=Y8wgfVuKxxWBTb6tn1bK2AEjuGw58fOJXTWIPuKcNniZI2cwNoaTZQ==&ch=u5AvceRub4DFIpfJrBft4CtI7aULKvkRXPmnaZ7uRBuj8RJZwyPENg==)**
