Thank you very much and God bless you.
Posted for this quote (2 minutes in) from Traci Park, Los Angeles City Council member: "There are large swaths of the city with no emergency response resources available."
What's the budget again? $830 million per year for the LAFD.
Took 45 minutes for them to arrive after the first 911 call in the Palisades fire.
They'll ask for ... more taxes.
