Galperin, Ron — City of Los Angeles
Los Angeles City Controller
City of Los Angeles
LATEST: Galperin has served as Los Angeles City Controller since 2013, when he became the first member of a city neighborhood council to be elected to citywide office. This independently elected watchdog for taxpayers at City Hall completed more than 30 audits of municipal departments and programs and helped recover millions of dollars in misspent public funds last year. In addition to watching over the city's assets, payrolls and liabilities, Galperin released the first comprehensive reviews of the city's approach to homelessness, recommending more data-driven outreach and calling for efficient, cost-effective housing solutions.
BACKGROUND: Galperin practiced law for 20 years before running for controller. In a quest for greater municipal transparency, he implemented Control/Panel L.A., which allows citizens digital access to information about public spending and the city's general assets and fiscal liabilities. Galperin is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and Loyola Law School.
