DONE's response to Wednesday's mass resignations of @theHSDNC officers and Board members indicates they are "confused" why a supervisor was not contacted. Perhaps that supervisor should have contacted the Board before two payments totaling $7,500 were submitted to @LACityClerk?

BREAKING NEWS: Mass resignation of a majority of @theHSDNC Hollywood Studio District Neighborhood Council Board members, including its Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary, due to DONE's diversion of at least $7,500 of NC funds to two non-profits without Board approval. Stay tuned!
