Karen Bass: “I don't believe that--”

I understand why residents are frustrated. They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.

The city and county have opened spaces for families seeking relief from the smoke, and we will continue working around the clock and doing everything possible to put this fire out completely.

I appreciate you for standing with me when others doubted me, because you know who I am.

The lack of adequate services continues to be a real problem and a contributing factor to people cycling in and out of homelessness, and these services are controlled by LA County.
