My response to the corgi-gate allegations 🐶
This is just the beginning of the weird attacks from our well-funded opponents. Support us for re-election so we can continue to be the independent watchdog over your tax dollars!

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.

In January 2023, LAPD killed three people suffering mental health crises.
In response, our Office assessed the LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit (MEU) & found that LAPD requires a patrol-first, armed response in mental health calls for service.

This is the second time the City has opted for an expensive outside vendor instead of using our Office.
While cost of living continues to rise in LA pushing more ppl into homelessness, and future homelessness funds are at risk, the City spends money it does not have on outside contractors.

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)
The City of LA NEEDS to fundamentally change the way it handles its finances.
