DEI Mayor Gone Awol; Mayor Karen Bass Faces Criticism Over Fire Department $17.6 Million Dollar Budget Cut

[Maximum Overkill 1,739]

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is under intense scrutiny after it was revealed that the city’s fire department budget was slashed by $17.6 million for the 2024-25 fiscal year, just as the city grapples with catastrophic wildfires. The budget reduction, which represents a significant cut to the fire department, is the second-largest reduction in Bass’ recently passed budget, according to city records.

The news comes as wildfires, exacerbated by fierce winds, continue to ravage parts of Los Angeles, with multiple blazes turning entire neighborhoods into disaster zones. With firefighters stretched thin, Bass’ budget cuts have come under sharp criticism for leaving the department underfunded during an emergency.

In addition to the fire department cuts, Bass had initially proposed an even steeper reduction of $23 million before settling on the $17.6 million figure. Meanwhile, the police department’s budget was increased by $126 million in the same fiscal year, according to a graphic shared by LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia.

Bass Faces Backlash Amid Wildfires and Her Absence

The controversy surrounding the budget cuts intensified after it was revealed that Bass was out of the country attending the inauguration of Ghana’s president while the fires ravaged her city. As wind-whipped wildfires turned parts of Los Angeles into an apocalyptic hellscape, Bass remained in Africa. Her absence sparked outrage, particularly as the city’s fire department struggled to contain the rapidly spreading blazes.

As I wrote I don’t like Bass. But how can you call her a DEI Mayor if she ran for office and won?

Because liberal dopes listen to their liberal masters and do what they are told to do. Are you this dumb?

Her campaign was pretty shameful IMO. She portrayed  Rick Caruso as a rich white bigot and Trump supporter. He’s rich and white; the rest was a lie. Caruso can’t stand Trump and the feeling is mutual (maybe because Caruso is better at real estate that Trump could ever dream of being, wealthier than Trump, honest and a generally good guy with innovative and moderate pro-business liberal ideas.) But unfortunately Bass was successful at playing the race card.

But they did spend more money, and effort turning kids into trannys.  Shame.

[Tree of Knowledge 1,700]

With all the problems that have and could face LA (e.g. homelessness, riots, fires, earthquakes, gangs, bad hombres), the mayor has to be someone that can excel in a crisis. Instead, they elected someone that makes Mayor Lightfoot look like Margaret Thatcher.

If I had been buying horses from the same breeder for the past 50 years, and everytime I bought one it died upon being saddled the first time I would change the breeder from which I was acquiring my horses.  In fact I would have changed the breeder after the first horse died, but that's me.

Rick Caruso was a centrist Republican who, since Trump arrived, became a centrist Democrat. But his views haven’t really changed. He’s pro-business, socially liberal (but not leftist), anti- socialist, anti-populist.

"Ted Cruz fleeing Texas in the middle of a deadly crisis is part of a larger pattern of the GOP abandoning folks in crisis. We need to build a movement to kick them all out".
