LA’s emergency alert system apparently fell short again. Late warning, late all-clear. We’ve seen this problem before. Next time, it could be catastrophic.

LA’s ambulance response times have become much slower over the past decade and continue to get worse under Mayor Bass, putting people’s lives at risk. Visit austinforla.com to see how long it takes for an ambulance to arrive in your neighborhood.

The Mayor’s statement is misleading, at best.

This isn’t a Palisades rebuild, it’s a spec house with plans submitted two months before the fire. It was issued a demo permit the morning before it burned down.

This chaotic effort with green bins begs the question: what progress has the City made in meeting the state’s regulation to divert 75% of organic waste?

Does anyone other than Mayor Bass think the homelessness emergency is over? She’s spent $6mil+ of taxpayer money on lawyers fighting efforts by Federal Judge/City Controller to find out where billions have gone. It’s time the Mayor starts sharing the truth.
The mayor lifted a homeless emergency declaration. South L.A. merchants and residents aren't so sure
This South L.A. homeless encampment was sanitized more than 20 times this year. Cleaning it is not enough, residents say.

Enough! Today we learned the City claims there are 88 beds in a shelter that only has 44. Last week, we found out that the City paid $27 mil to buy a shelter that sold for $11 mil days before. It’s time Mayor Bass and City Hall start sharing the facts. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Every day, Los Angeles is becoming less affordable.

What would you do with an extra $1,223 per year? That’s how much the average family’s electricity, trash, sewage, and water bills have gone up under Mayor Bass.

Have you ever heard of the “adjustment factor”? It means City Hall is raising your bills and they won’t tell you why.

10 months after the Palisades tragedy, 12 deaths, thousands of people lost their homes and livelihoods and still no real answers. People deserve the truth. The Mayor and City Council must create an independent commission to investigate what happened so we can make sure it never happens again.
