I got no dog in this fight, so I’ll sit with my popcorn and watch this comment section.

The blame game is going to be interesting.

Blaming is politicians favorite thing to do. On the other hand our Lafd chief spoke the truth..she stated facts…all issues led to money shortage….while our “leadership”.?.? Hands out vouchers to shuffle unhoused and mentally ill from one place to another…then we get huge sanitation increases..

Ca. Is not and should not be a welfare state..all programs must involve training and work for benefit.

Put criminals in jail…mental illness is not a pass to endanger anyone..parents need to be accountable for minors behavior…and seniors should not be afraid to go out after dark..Mayor should not be alllowed to fire police…sheriff or firefighters ..just fire the useless office team
