Nithya Raman goes scorched earth on Mayor Karen Bass after councilwoman was pushed out of homelessness committee position
New York Post ^

Mayor Karen Bass conspired with a political ally to push rival Nithya Raman out as chair of LA’s Housing and Homelessness Committee, the councilwoman alleged.

Raman, who is challenging Bass in November, blasted the shake-up in a video posted to X Monday after the California Post first reported that she was being removed as chair of the committee.

“Mayor Bass’ top City Council ally removed me as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee,” Raman said. “The Mayor may be trying to punish me for challenging her, but Angelenos are the ones who pay the price for these political games.” City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson is who Raman is referring to as the ally, he and Bass have remained close friends for years.

Uh, oh. Nithya still listed. Probably still getting paid. I believe I saw administrative costs @ $44 million. Cha- ching.

Her job was to keep Pratt off the ballot. She's expendable now.

Raman probably didn’t kick back enough 10%s. If they cannot all wet their beaks, heads will roll!

Heck, some homeless might actually find housing now./s

Karen Bass is a power-hungry monster

Hopefully she creates enough enemies to flame out
