Nemo me impune lacessit
Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong on Wednesday called into question Mayor Karen Bass’ recent slashing of the L.A. Fire Department’s budget as the city is being ravaged by urban wildfires.
Soon-Shiong, in a post on 𝕏, said Bass’ decision to cut the LAFD budget by $23 million, coupled with reports of empty fire hydrants, raised “serious questions” about her leadership.
“Competence matters,” he wrote (Bass’ initial proposal called for the city to cut $23 million from LAFD’s 2024-25 fiscal year budget; the LAFD budget was ultimately slashed by $17.6 million).
Help Karen, @Walt! Explain things to the people of LA!
