D.A. Gets Another Week to Report on Child Support Unit
- Share via
LOS ANGELES COUNTY — The unveiling of Dist. Atty. Gil Garcetti’s long-awaited plan to improve his child support program was delayed Tuesday for another week to allow his office more time to finalize the proposal.
Two months ago, responding to a request by the Board of Supervisors, Garcetti agreed to examine ways of improving his office’s $120-million Bureau of Family Support Operations, which has been plagued by a multitude of problems, including a dismal collection rate. Originally, supervisors asked for a report in 30 days but Garcetti prevailed in getting more time.
On Tuesday, however, the presentation of his report was postponed by mutual agreement with Chief Administrative Officer David Janssen.
“We haven’t seen the plan yet and wanted to be sure we can see it before it is presented to the board,” Janssen said, also noting that the board had a pressing health care matter Tuesday.
Victoria Pipkin, Garcetti’s spokeswoman, said presenting the report was delayed because the office was still “working on it.”
