Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis speaks in support of a 2017 sales tax measure to provide services for homeless people. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)Hilda Solis virtually remade the Board of Supervisors, along with Sheila Kuehl, when both were elected in 2014. Twenty years had passed since Los Angeles County’s close brush with bankruptcy, and the previous board kept the prospect of insolvency in the forefront of its policymaking, in much the way Depression-era parents often grew up to become penny-pinching grandparents. Solis has served the county and its people well in the years leading up to and including the pandemic. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.
