Democrat on LA City Council bashes city for prioritizing free crack pipes over funding fire dept

Corruption?  This is the moral, ethical and legal corruption of the L.A. City Council.

“A Democrat on the LA City Council is slamming “chronic under-investment” in basic services and fire prevention — even as Mayor Karen Bass has funneled money to providing drug addicts with free crack pipes.

The fury in LA Council member Traci Park’s voice was palpable as she raged against what she called years of poor financial decisions by LA city officials and how it’s come to a head with the catastrophic wildfires in her district, which includes hard-hit Pacific Palisades.

“We have the same number of firefighters and fire stations in LA in 2025 that we did in 1960. How insane is that?”

Since 1960, Los Angeles’ population has more than doubled — from around 6.2 million to more than 12.5 million today.”

To the Marxist Bass, druggies are more important that honest families.  Let her explain to the public why she believes this.  No, do not listen to her words—look at her actions.

A Democrat on the LA City Council is slamming “chronic under-investment” in basic services and fire prevention — even as Mayor Karen Bass has funneled money to providing drug addicts with free crack pipes.

The fury in LA Council member Traci Park’s voice was palpable as she raged against what she called years of poor financial decisions by LA city officials and how it’s come to a head with the catastrophic wildfires in her district, which includes hard-hit Pacific Palisades.

“We have the same number of firefighters and fire stations in LA in 2025 that we did in 1960. How insane is that?”

Since 1960, Los Angeles’ population has more than doubled — from around 6.2 million to more than 12.5 million today.

Activists angry over Park’s stance that homeless encampments should be 500 feet from schools and homes tried to interrupt her swearing-in ceremony in 2022. But the council member has been undeterred in calling out what she sees as wasteful spending in some areas and none in others.

“Last year, the LA Fire Department responded to over 500,000 emergency calls,” Park said. “Half of those calls were related to the homeless population.  We haven’t added new staffing or even any new 911 operators. On an average day in LA we are not staffed adequately to meet demands.
