To the editor: I’m a former classmate of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass at Alexander Hamilton Excessive Faculty in West L.A. I don’t see her as appearing in opposition to the pursuits of residents. (“$500,000 for three months’ work: What was Mayor Karen Bass thinking?” letters, Feb. 12)
It’s one factor for a mayor to be away when rain could cause mudslides for householders within the burn areas. Nonetheless, she must be a prophet to know that the forecast excessive winds and dryness would trigger the destruction of Pacific Palisades and Altadena throughout her scheduled journey to Ghana as a part of a delegation despatched by then-President Biden.
What would the mayor’s loud critics have performed in the event that they had been in her sneakers? It’s simple to be a Monday-morning quarterback. She got here again to Los Angeles as quickly as potential.
