2024 Los Angeles County Measure G
2024 Los Angeles Measure G, officially the Los Angeles County Government Structure, Ethics and Accountability Charter Amendment, is a ballot measure which was approved by voters in Los Angeles County, California on November 5, 2024. The measure appeared on the ballot for all Los Angeles County elections.

This measure would amend the county's charter to establish a directly-elected county executive position in Los Angeles County, as well as an independent ethics commission and a nonpartisan legislative analyst. Aside from San Francisco, which is a consolidated city-county, this would make Los Angeles the only Californian county to have a directly elected county executive. The Board of Supervisors would also increase from five to nine elected members and county departments would be required to present annual budgets in public meetings.

The measure is the first significant amendment to the charter's definition of county government since the approval of the charter in 1912.

Clog
Clogs are a type of footwear that has a thick, rigid sole typically made of wood, although in American English, shoes with rigid soles made of other materials are also called clogs.

Traditional clogs remain in use as protective footwear in agriculture and in some factories and mines. Although they are sometimes negatively associated with cheap and folkloric footwear of farmers and the working class, some types are considered fashion wear today, such as Swedish träskor or Japanese geta.

Clogs are also used in several different styles of dance, where an important feature is the sound they produce against the floor. Clog dancing is one of the fundamental roots of tap dancing, but with tap shoes the taps are free to click against each other and produce a different sound from clogs. Many modern brands produce clogs, most famously the American company Crocs.
