Yesterday, I announced that I left the Democratic Party in Jan 2024.
I couldn’t support a party that preferred to spend our tax dollars on bombs while Americans struggle to put food on the table. As City Controller, my job is to call out misspending no matter who is in power.

How much is the City of LA considering paying for an outside monitor on local homeless efforts instead of having our Office do it for FREE? 🤔
AT LEAST $560,000 OR $800 PER HOUR FOR 700 HOURS (MAX) OF WORK!
This diverts funds from essential services during financial hardship.

Today, City Council voted 11-2 to approve the Convention Center expansion.
This will cost us an additional $104 million each year for the next 30 years. ($104 million = 900 City jobs)

“If this plan goes through, the City is projected to need an additional average of $116 million from the General Fund each year for the next 28 years starting in FY2029. $116 million is the equivalent of nearly 1,000 City jobs.”
