State conflict of interest laws ban public officials from any involvement in contracts in which they have a financial interest, including agreements that financially benefit their spouse or groups that pay their spouse.
Los Angeles’ top homeless services executive told LAist in December that she stuck to those rules, saying she had been walled off and “completely recused” from business relating to her husband’s employer.
Through a public records request, LAist later discovered records that contradict her assertion.
The documents show that Va Lecia Adams Kellum, chief executive of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), signed a $2.1 million contract and two other contract amendments with Upward Bound House, the Santa Monica-based nonprofit where her husband Edward Kellum works in senior leadership. The contract names Adams Kellum as the LAHSA official authorized to administer it.

“What? A black female crook in Los Angeles government? Shocking, I tell you. And to think, she LIED about it, too. Have these crooks no shame?”
No they don’t, nor are they very smart. One wonders how they attain these significant positions. Oh that’s right, it’s Los Angeles, just following the inept Mayors example who’s a verified moron. With time probably she will be found to be corrupt as well.
“One wonders how they attain these significant positions.”
No kidding. More corrupt black females around the nation than you can count. This is what DEI did.
It’s all the fault of the little girl who keeps singing about getting a ghettopotamus for Christmas.
