Molina, then a member of the county Board of Supervisors, requested the repatriation records during her fight against Proposition 187 in the 1990s.

County has been governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors, which was fine when the region had more cows than people.

And in 2032, nine members will be elected to the Board of Supervisors, which should allow for more representation of the county’s geography, politics and ethnic diversity.

With a county executive in place, the supervisors’ jobs will change too.
