I thought they fired Bass from her going on vacation to Uganda when fires broke out.

It’s okay for the DemonRATS to lay off people but it’s not okay for President Trump to do it. Fascist communism has arrived and it was delivered by the national DemonRAT “media”.

Here’s yet another reason why the country dodged a bullet last November. Had Harris cheated her way to a win, billions of federal bailout money would now be flowing to LA and other D hellholes.

I will be pissed if my tax money pays a dime to that state in bailouts.

Electing someone that can’t count up to 20 without taking their shoes off is stupid

Meanwhile Newsom is asking for BILLIONS from the Federal government to bail out the state of California.

The problem that so many of these Blue cities and states have is the millions of employees they have making huge salaries. Especially as they get near retirement.

When you read about LA lifeguards making $200K-400K annually you can’t hardly believe it.
Yet, this is happening all over in states like CA, IL, MA, NY, WA, NJ, etc.

It used to be working for the government was a low paying job, but you had good benefits and job security. Now, there are state government employees that have become multi millionaires at middle management jobs. Plus, they end up with pensions paying them 80% of their highest annual pay for the rest of their lives.

Obviously, these government employees become a huge voting block to keep the gravy train rolling. Plus, many of them are in unions. So, their dues go to supporting the Dem Pols who keep the cash flowing.

Bass blamed the Trump administration and the economy for falling revenue...

Quell surprise! Funny how the Democrats never make a bad policy decision. Even through they're in power and make all the policy decisions, it's a bad deus ex machina that makes the bad decisions.

Why is a city that is so rich always out of money?

I’ve read there will be substantial decrease in animal services funding.

You can expect a huge increase of dogs and cats being loose in neighborhoods. The ones that are captured will be immediately euthanized.
