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.
“It’s bananas,” Park told The Post. “The city of LA is in the middle of multiple crises: mental health, addiction, the homeless, infrastructure failures everywhere. We have pipes underground that are 100 years old and are just poised to cause an environmental catastrophe. Our sidewalks are cracked and falling apart all over.”
