Los Angeles Mayor Demanded Fire Department Cut Nearly $50 Million From Budget Last Week
Just last week, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass demanded that the Los Angeles Fire Department's budget be cut by $49 million, resulting in at least one station per district. To say this woman has bad timing for nearly everything is an understatement.

According to The Post Millennial:
According to the Daily Mail, the extra cuts would have shut down 16 fire stations as well as hampered the department's ability to fight the recent wildfires. The outlet obtained a memo that was leaked about the cuts and dated January 6. The Mail reported that the memo was sent from the LAFD "top brass" to division chiefs after Bass met with Chief Kristin Crowley in a tense meeting the Friday before.
The outlet reported that during the Friday meeting is when Bass made the demand for the extra budget cuts.
“The LAFD is still going through a FY [financial year] 2024/2025 $48.8million budget reduction exercise with the CAO [City Attorney's Office],” the memo stated. 'The only way to provide a cost savings would be to close as many as 16 fire stations (not resources, fire stations); this equates to at least one fire station per City Council District.”
If they had stopped spending so much money on foolish things, they might not have had to cut funding from critical public safety agencies, which would have been in addition to the already $17 million cut.
The extra $49 million would have been in addition to the $17.6 million in cuts that were previously reported. After the original cut was signed off on, Los Angeles Fire Chief said that it "severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires."
It’s common sense that Southern California is a breeding ground for wildfires. The fact that she wanted to slash funding even after the department was “severely limited” speaks volumes about her priorities. This woman is so incompetent that she cannot even pretend to fulfill her most basic duties.
Is it even possible to name one positive thing she has done for the city? Because I beg to differ, as she painfully proves how objectively negligent she is.
