John Morris Earns Endorsement of LA Times For Los Angeles County Assessor
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 09, 2014 -- Citing his backbone and integrity, the Los Angeles Times today endorsed Head Deputy District Attorney John Morris to be the next Assessor for Los Angeles County.
"Our campaign is gaining a huge amount of traction because we are building a broad based group of leaders committed to protecting taxpayers and creating a responsive, updated Assessor's office," said John Morris. "It is an honor to have the LA Times endorsement and be able to communicate that with voters."
In their endorsement of Morris, the LA Times editorial board cited the need to update the agency's operation from a decades old computer system while at the same time continuing to foster changes that make this critical agency responsive to the needs of taxpayers.
