Thank you very much and God bless you.

Angry yet ?

I bet most of this cash is just paying those administering the funds and the intended recipients get what little is left.

Grift, it's always about the grift with the left.

Well until you citizens start standing up for your rights to not have these dicktators stealing your money to PAY FOR ILLEGAL INVADERS. I guess you can enjoy it. Don’t expect a Thank you from them though. How sickening your governments just throws it in your face while supporting Illegals over you Legal citizens.

From the article: L.A. County diverted $5 million originally approved for wildfire victims to pay these illegal aliens landlords who were aiding and abetting these illegal alien invaders.

The landlords need to be forced to pay back every penny. They can't profit from a crime they committed.

This is a win win for LA County Supervisors in their replacement strategy. Burn out the old, financially support the new.

Because either they are corrupt, or it is just legal to steal and nothing can be done about it. Or both.
