Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been criticized for taking a taxpayer-funded trip to Ghana while the city was facing a severe wildfire risk. Multiple reports indicate that officials, including meteorologists with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Weather Service, warned about the imminent danger posed by dry conditions and strong winds. Governor Gavin Newsom initiated emergency preparations and deployed additional firefighting resources. The wildfires caused widespread damage, forcing thousands of evacuations and leaving the city struggling with water shortages and manpower. Mayor Bass eventually returned to Los Angeles but refused to answer questions from reporters.
