$830 million a year budget for the LAFD.
How much did they spend on DEI?
$23 BILLION for homeless ‘crisis’ only to see the problem expand with 50% more homeless than when they started spending/stealing the money.
Incompetent, thieving, corrupt Dem stooges.

It looks like one of the many conditions that needs to be attached to any federal money is a complete audit of the LAFD and anything dealing with water and forest management by the best forensic accountants available. I want this audit to be so thorough that their grandchildren and great grandchildren will walk funny afterwards.

On the other hand, Gavin looks like he could be cast in a movie as a Governor... too back he can’t play the part in real life.
