L.A. Mayor Karen Bass: ‘We’re Not Going to Sit Around and Look at What We’re Going to Spend on or Not’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BASS: “Say that not only are there the resources and unlimited resources that the fire d., the police department need right now, we’re not going to sit around and look at what we’re going to spend on or not. If chief mcdonnell calls me and tells me this is what he needs, if chief crowley calls me and tells me this is what we need, then that’s what we’ll do. But let me just also say that it’s beyond Los Angeles. So the mutual aid component, I’m getting phone calls from all over the country from people I served with in Congress who have now moved on to be governors. We have a number of different states. Even Canada called. But that is what happens in natural disasters. I know the chief and I, I think it was just a couple of months ago we had a number of firefighters go around the country.”
