This is what happens when the productive base of an area leaves. With it goes the MONEY used to finance all the dead beats and bureaucrats.

She’s going to Sacramento to “advocate for resources”.

Apparently”advocate for resources” means, ask for money.

Interesting how they come up with creative descriptions for their actions.

Stop being a sanctuary for illegals and funding their healthcare, food and housing.

Well, Mayor, the ‘entertainment’ industry ain’t what it used to be, you know. Then, if you’ll recall, your ineptitude (’Systemic Ineptitude’?) and arrogance led to a fire that has caused vast numbers of the wealthiest people in the world to flee your hellhole of a city. Neither are coming back.

Harboring illegals is playing musical chairs; when the music stops you’re left holding the debts and you have no one to blame but yourself.

Why not double down on all the negro worship? Perhaps that will rescue you.

Keep voting for the same old incompetence and corruption and this is what you get. Who is going to bail them out? The state? It sure as Hell won’t be Trump.

Yep. Cooperate with ICE and do those other things. Then it can be considered.

If not, no bailout. And maybe no bailout anyway.

“Bass blamed the Trump administration and the economy for falling revenue”

Typical Democratic story ... get elected on promises of creating an new Garden of Eden ... screw everything they touch up ... blame the nearest Republican and the economy they created for their failures.

No sympathy.
I howl with laughter at this.
The left will break their own backs with their incompetence.
Not a dime of my tax money!

All those laid off,and their voting families members, will not vote for her. When she loses more workers, they might not be able to cheat the vote and re-elect her sorry Cheshire cat grinning mug back in office.

The new revenue will come from taking burned up properties using eminent domain. She will use the pretext of they are blighted and the owners haven’t cleaned them up. They can go in with bulldozers and dump trucks and scour the land then sell the prime real estate.
