Bummer, doubt it would have helped, but it's a bad look for sure.

Read the chief was complaining about cuts would affect training.

Well, that's how it is, good thing it went to housing migrants.

It's only a $150Billion loss for citizens.

Think of the migrant homelessness.

Was it because last year they had a budget increase to purchase new equipment that didn't need to be purchased again this fiscal year?

Here's another one that knows more than a white woman fire chief.

I see Alex also doesn't think a white woman fire Chief can determine wether cuts are cuts or not.
And how they will affect training.

Rumor is a week before the fires Bass was trying to claw back that $49million.

Developing....

but oneironut would like you to know that the fire chief is a white chick. thats really important to him.

Yep my sources in LA are impeccable.

The budget "cut" was during negotiations with the Firefighters over pay-thus they could not accurately budget the fire department. Upon completing the agreement, the budget was adjusted to cover the new contract, resulting in a $57 million budget increase.

Magat scum are lying, no suprise.

I am sure you know more than the LAFD Chief, believe all women.

then why do you mention youre chinese almost every day? why do you call corky racist every day?

That would be Corky, which is why I call her a racist.

Thanks for playing.

weirdo.

Perhaps but I am not an idiot like you and ToothHurts

Do you get tired of losing in every thread?

#32 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

Where's the loss?

I post links, I post facts, all you guys did is make statements without evidence.

unless you want to argue that cutting 17.6 million and added 53 million is a total loss. unless thats the case, you look like a lying idiot.

#46 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

Who should I believe "newsweek" who claimed Biden videos were DeepFakes, and the FinePeopleHoax", OR the LAFD Chief?

Its an easy choice.

You're out of ideas Alex, you have to goto known liars for your narrative to stick.

Everything is collapsing around California and you don't have a valid source for anything, they all shot their wads.

you post facts relevant to your conclusion and ignore the rest of them.

#49 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

Its not my conclusion its the LAFD Chiefs conclusion. When I don't know I say so, unlike you and ToothLies.

Here's another tidbit of disfunction

Dailynews is that even allowed?

LOL

Factcheck: Was the LAFD budget cut? No, it actually increased. Here's how.

#57 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

LOL

Los Angeles City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield,

OF COURSE he's going to lie, he doesn't want any responsibility for the fiasco.

FFS Alex get a clue.

how is a budget cutting 17.6 million and adding 53 million a loss? i thought "asians" were good at math ...
#64 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE A

Prove it was added, BEFORE the fire.

I have never thought idiots were good with logic.

I believe a city councilman over you. all day every day.

Thats fine, BUT these aren't my STATEMENTS moron, they are the LAFD Chiefs statements

These are direct VIDEO and MEMOS the Chief has sent to the Mayor.

They aren't statements to newsweek made after the need to cover their asses.

Now I am hearing the 60 firetrucks the state of Oregon sent to support the LA fires are being held up in Sacramento for emissions testing.' They likely won't pass inspection and won't be able to help...

Developing.

And if they had not performed the needed maintenance of their infrastructure, what might your current alias be saying?

Your alias is saying if they didn't preform maintenance things would be worse?

LOL

former DWP general manager Martin Adams

Is this the guy that doesn't want to use SeaWater?

You know the head of the DWP makes $750K a year. Isn't that twice as much as POTUS?

But only for a time.

Notice this isn't a direct quote, wonder why.

"Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley was fired by Mayor Karen Bass on Friday afternoon, a source close to the chief's office told DailyMail.

Kristin was summoned by Bass this afternoon, about 4pm. She came back from that meeting, hugged her staff goodbye and left. She said she was fired,' the source said."

So it's not actually a net loss.

#90 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

It actually is.

See here's what happened, they cut the budget by $17Million. Employee compensation remained the same, so a loss of training and equipment.
Then they negotiated the compensation for the Firemen adding more $53M.

Net loss of 17Million dollars in actual funding for training, equipment etal.

I seem to recall you mumbling about arithmetic, perhaps you should learn algebra.

Why does this seem to be so difficult for your current alias?
#88 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER

Where did that alias say its was difficult?

Why does this alias always assume what people think?

Here's a question for you Gaslighter, since you seem to think you know what people are thinking.

Why did Bass fire the LAFD Chief?
Why did NEwsom invite Trump to CA?
Why did Newsom talk to Biden after he was caught lying about talking to Biden?

Here's my guess.

The Democrat bench is shallow for a Presidential run in 2028, Newsom is really the only person on the horizon. do you know another?
The DNC is trying really hard right now to save Newsom. The LAFD Chief, and some lacky in DWP is going to go too.

Other than that no one is really going to be held responsible.

the council had also signed off on $58 million for new firetrucks and other department purchases.

Of course its in the budget that shrunk.

Just because there are new things in it doesn't mean it didn't shrink. Think man think.

There are a 100 vehicles currently not working and in need of repair, per the LAFD

LA mayor's office denies report fire chief was dismissed

Thats good. I know they had a meeting, I saw news that she was let go.

7 is greater than -2. What the ---- is wrong with you?
#104 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

It pretty simple really, as I stated. The gain was only in compensation.
and it was a cut in training and mechanics to work on broken equipment.

To be have nothing cut, it would have been +53Million (the new compensation package) in the budget.

It was $17M less than this.

Wrong. They got 58 million for new fire trucks.

#106 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

What are you saying?

LAFD had a budget X
and received on top of that

$58 Million for new fire trucks

PLUS
$50 Million set aside in Nov?

And the Chief as complaining about losing $17M?

You or the Chief are ------ in the head.

The 58 Million for new vehicles was in the original June budget approval for vehicle replacements, NOT NEW, and its not the Nov as stated in the article.

@#105 ... To be have nothing cut, it would have been +53Million (the new compensation package) in the budget. ...
Huh?
#110 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER A

If there was no budget cut the budget would have increased +53M for compensation adjustments, because that was the total of that adjustment in NOV

But since there was a $17M cut in the budget the increase was only $36M in NOV.

According to the LAFD Chief they had to cut the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires, per the memo in December.

"Oneironut uses bad sources."

I am looking at the actual budget. What other sources are there?

I caught her using India Today as a source a few weeks back.

India Today is the most widely read english paper in India.

Whats wrong with that as a source? Its the NYT of India, why are Americans so nationalistic?

I have not denied that there was a budget cut. Get over that.

I never said you did, I was just stating when looked at that perspective.

was the characterization that a 2% budget cut of the Fire Department was a drastic cut.

Try cutting 2% of the the Federal Budget, and watch this place light up about the end of times.

Also it depends upon what the 2% was for.

Pilot Training - Check.
WildFire tactics - Check

Read her memo, seems relevant today.

LOL- didn't realize you were such a heavy bleeder, Eb.

You seem like a winner, going the female denigration path, not surprised you haven't added anything educational to this thread.

I don't ever recall interacting with you, so not sure what you mean by "caught" me.

My guess is you're a sockpuppet and you're using the wrong account; as I am learning from Corky many of those here.

#117 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER

How does any of this post by your alias make any sense to the "huh?" I was responding to. Seem discontinuous, but I'll let you sort out how they are interrelated.

I might be confusing him with some other ankle biter but isn't he a Nazi?

He's a Nazi? Are you saying he's a Trumper? Makes sense given the woman hating nature.

Maybe, maybe not.

You're full of gas

In my view, can DOGE suggesttwaste to cut in the Federal budget?

Absolutely.

I doubt it. I am sure it can find that 30%, everyone can, but cutting it, no one can do that.

Do you even understand how your American system works. It takes Congress, and after that it will be lawyers by the time thats over, Trump will be gone and things will go back to normal after a Democrat takes office again.

My alias is taken.

So, your current aliases have nothing to counter what I have said besides attempted insults.

I made a perfectly valid reply to your Doge thinking, did you reply in any intelligent response? nope.

But this is what I notice with your alisas, it asks questions get answers and instead of responding to the answers the alias asks more non-sequiter questions.

One can only assume this alias is paid to post, and troll us to get more posts. I don't mind, but I would imagine the person behind the alias have to feel pretty ------ about himself to do that.
