Here is my statement about the LA City Controller’s race, including my endorsement for @kennethmejiaLA. Thank you for your support & I will always ❤️ LA! ✌🏼🤙🏼👊🏼
@dakotacdsmith@sherlyholmes Good to hear but what about Mayors Fund also? Can we get some transparency there too? How many city contractors contribute to Mayor’s Fund? 🤔
@PplsCityCouncil@lacontroller If it’s General Fund, the $$ reverts/returns to the Reserve Fund if unspent by (fiscal) year’s end. Those funds remain there as part of the emergency Reserve Fund and/or those $$$ may be appropriated in future years back to LAPD or other Departments.
In closing some loopholes, the council should not be opening new ones, especially for some of the city’s biggest and most influential unions and nonprofits. https://t.co/I70dvHrqQA
@kerryc_latimes Thank you @latimesopinion for highlighting this critical issue that is directly correlated to the lack of quality City services in Los Angeles✌🏼💕
@latimesopinion Any Councilperson funded by thee Gov’t Unions will cut City services & programs first to free up funding to finance the quid pro quo pay raises. It’s happening right now & its happened many times in the past.
@latimesopinion They negotiate the largest mult-billion $ contracts in the City. They are lobbyists and they are NOT current City employees. They control LA’s purse strings. They care about their members first, most of whom don’t even live in LA.

Thank you LA Times and @sherlyholmes @DavidZahniser & all the writers for these awesome weekly LA gov’t updates!Keep ‘em coming! & when @urbanistcole speaks, he speaks the truth. https://t.co/kXnHz1GsYl
@JonnyPeltz Dude you’re so wrong - it’s all very confusing for the public & they confuse the masses so they can pull off fiscal shenanigans. It’s hard to follow the $$. Trust me, I work here ✌🏼
