Wasserman has advocated for lower property taxes. However, property taxes are a critical component of the LA Fire Department's budget. He will now pay 'any amount' for a private fire service, despite not wanting to pay towards public services prior to this fire.

The last 2 weeks exemplify the hierarchy of human life:

•488 mass shootings in 2024—no major legislation to stop future shootings
•200K+ Palestinians killed—send even more bombs to Netanyahu
This must change.
