Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong remarked how Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass cut the fire department’s budget prior to the ongoing Palisades fires.
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.
Fox News Digital reached out to the LA Times for further comment. Though Soon-Shiong claimed Bass cut $23 million from the fire department’s budget, the actual LAFD’s budget was cut by approximately $17 million. However, Bass’ original budget proposal sought to cut $23 million. Bass has been heavily criticized after it was reported that she was out of the country in Africa when the fires began breaking out on Tuesday. She is currently heading back to California.
