1:21Now PlayingCriticism (including from the owner of the LA Times) of Los Angeles LA Mayor Karen Bass answered questions from reporters today about her alleged reducing of the budget and funding for fire prevention and fire fighting.
Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong reminded followers how "competence matters" regarding LA mayor Karen Bass during the ongoing Pacific Palisades fires.
As wildfires continued to rage across Los Angeles County on Wednesday, Soon-Shiong directed his X followers to his paper for live updates on the situation while appearing to criticize Bass’s handling of the city before the crisis.
"Our hearts go out to those who have lost their homes and are seeking shelter. Fires in LA are sadly no surprise, yet the Mayor cut LA Fire Department’s budget by $23M. And reports of empty fire hydrants raise serious questions. Competence matters…Follow @latimes for live coverage in partnership with @Spectrum. The live camera view coverage will give our readers a real time view of the fires and the stream is open to all Angelenos. Stay safe," Soon-Shiong wrote.
