I pay 14.4% state income tax, 10.5% sales tax, tens of thousands a year in property tax, heavy utility tax & thousands in permit fees for minor changes to my house. And they don’t have enough fire personnel?! Meanwhile @santamonicacity has an army of DEI staff making ~$200k! This is a CRIME. The TOP job of government is public SAFETY. @GavinNewsom and @KarenBassLA have betrayed us on crime, on homelessness, and (as I called months ago) they have criminally betrayed us with wildfires. They don’t just belong out of public office. I have never said this before but they belong in prison for treason and criminal negligence. We imprison reckless drivers for a hit and run or injury collision with thousands in damages. This is millions of times that. Fire EVERY DEI employee in California. Fire EVERY PR employee in California. Fire EVERY High Speed Rail employee in California. Fire EVERY “homeless services” employee in California. Fire EVERY “climate change” employee in California. And replace them immediately with public safety workers. NOW. We will lose far more than what we already have. This is the TIP of the iceberg. And wait til we have an earthquake and no one is answering 911 calls. Already if your home Is invaded in LA, good luck getting a police response on time. We need to have a total revamp of public safety and it begins with ending all the useless drains on our budget.
