L.A. Mayor Recall Petitioner: The Local Gov’t Is Enabling Homelessness

RUSH EXCERPT:

DATIG: “We have this position in the city of Los Angeles where our leaders seem to think it’s okay to leave people on the streets to die, just whistling past the graveyard. We have had over 3600 people die on the streets of Los Angeles in the past five years. I think that enabling these people to stay on the streets by “Mitigating” homelessness has caused these types of conditions where people are living and dying on the streets of Los Angeles, it’s outrageous. We have had a 75% increase in homelessness in the past six years under the leadership of Eric Garcetti. There is no question who is to blame for this increase. He needs to be recalled. The citizens of Los Angeles have had enough of this. What are we supposed to tell our kids?”
