bass raped the city's budget for her peeps, stole from LAFD

[Onebadcad]

Yep, the stupid idiot did not cut from fire budget to lower the city's spending, she did so in order to take care of her own.

No one should be surprised, as this is what all socialists do, they grow gov and make sure their allies stay affluent.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D for DUMBASS) reportedly awarded government workers with major wage increases before making cuts to the city’s fire department budget.

“Mayor Karen Bass’s budget cuts to the city’s fire department, enacted just months ago amid warnings about the city’s deteriorating finances, stand out as a striking example of misplaced priorities,” The City Journal reported on Friday:

The cuts stemmed from a budget crisis triggered by her administration’s decision to reward city employees with rich contracts and benefits—even as it dismissed worries that the reductions would hurt services. “Predictions that city services will be impossible to deliver,” deputy mayor Zach Seidl told the press, “are simply false.” Few public statements have aged as poorly—or as hauntingly—as this one.

Shortly after taking office, Bass began negotiating with public sector unions over expiring contracts. Early last year, those talks resulted in more than two dozen agreements with unions representing the city’s civilian employees, guaranteeing wage hikes of between 20 percent and 25 percent over five years. The contracts raised the minimum wage for city employees from $20 to $25 per hour and also contained rich benefits, including allowing workers to cash in 100 percent of their unused sick time when they retire—an increasingly rare perk in the private sector. An analysis by the city’s administrative officer said the deal would cost Los Angeles $3.5 billion over the life of the contracts. A similar multiyear deal with police unions was projected to add another $1 billion to costs.

Call me racist if you want but I'd love to see a study done on black politicians' rate of corruption versus other races

It's not a matter of race, it's a matter of culture and a feeling of entitlement

(a preponderance of the available evidence would seem to indicate my suspicions are correct)

The template for all public theft is used often in liberal urban areas.
wayne county mi is the most corrupt, it bled over to the school board.

The poor behavior is not lightened due to concerns of jail time or asset seizure, as the courts and the authorities are in lock-step with their party and union brethen.

You're not a racist you are a realist. Name one single black-run country in history to the present that has done even moderately ok. Just one will do.

she will be exposed just as gavin newsome is getting exposed but they are in full cover your ass mode, blame everyone else but themselves for their part.

While not 100% avoidable, the leadership failed the people since they claim climate change is real, it's so real that you cut resources after we've had well over 30 years of scientific data that prove wild fires happen every year in Socal

Gov. Gavin Newsom misled the public in 2021 about his wildfire prevention efforts by 690%

n 2021 the Globe reported:

The June 2021 report which exposed that Gov. Gavin Newsom misled the public about his wildfire prevention efforts by 690%, should have obligated applicable state agencies to act immediately.

The fact remains that California’s forests are still a lethal tinderbox as wildfire prevention efforts have not been ramped up to mitigate the now annual wildfire threat to homes, businesses and entire communities. Instead, 2021 is one of the worse fire seasons ever in state history, with wildfires still burning.

The joint CapRadio and NPR investigation unveiled in June 2021, Governor Newsom was found to have overstated the number of areas treated with fuel breaks and prescribed burns by 690%, the Globe reported. Governor Newsom claimed that, due to his executive order, 35 of his priority projects had treated over 90,000 acres with wildfire prevention treatments. However, data from the state only showed 11,399 acres treated.

“The data show Cal Fire treated 64,000 acres in 2019, but only 32,000 acres in 2020 and 24,000 acres through Memorial Day this year,” CapRadio and NPR reported, explaining that the governor even “disinvested in wildfire prevention.”

“At the same time, Newsom slashed roughly $150 million from Cal Fire’s wildfire prevention budget,” CapRadio reported.

Newsom’s executive order on day one as governor in 2019 blamed the state’s wildfires on climate change and paid particular attention to “equity” — focusing on areas with high “poverty levels, residents with disabilities, language barriers, residents over 65 or under five years of age, and households without a car.” (Executive Order below)

Officially, the projects totaled about 90,000 acres. That’s well short of the amount of forestland experts say needs treatment in California, but it would have substantially increased Cal Fire’s prevention output compared to past years.

In early 2020, Newsom declared mission accomplished.

“The projects collectively have treated 90,000 acres,” states a January 2020 press release from the governor’s office. “Work included removal of hazardous dead trees, vegetation clearing, creation of fuel breaks and community defensible spaces, and creation of ingress and egress corridors.”

But the data analyzed by CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom show that Cal Fire treated a small fraction of that amount, 11,399 acres, or about 13% of the amount cited by Newsom.

Big hat, no cattle.

Also as I understand it, often the posts under “slewfoot” are his wife not himself. And according to him she is an angry militant leftist JAP.

So the majority of the posts from that account are trolling for a reaction. I assume some get their kicks from that. I’m doing my best to avoid the slewtroll posts all together.
