LA Times: LAFD watered down the Palisades after-action report to downplay the failures of city leadership.
Why would Mayor Bass allow this cover up?
12 people died while thousands lost their homes and jobs. Yet there is still no accountability.

LA is now 100% coal free.
Delighted to see the plans we put in place are being realized. In 2010, as LA’s First Deputy Mayor, I led the work with IPA that laid the foundation for this milestone transition.
Proud of the people at DWP who made this happen.

California shut down its last coal plant last week and nobody even noticed, it made so little little difference.
Meanwhile solar is up 17% and gas is down 17% from 2024. I have a few highlights... www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ding-dong-...

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.

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.
