The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is a disgrace. “This isn’t about pointing fingers,” said L.A. County Board of Supervisor Chair Kathryn Barger, as quoted in the county’s online statement announcing the release of the report by the McChrystal Group. “LA County firefighting vehicles are 27 years old on average,” the proponents wrote in their ballot argument to voters, citing “worn-out, broken-down equipment” as a factor in response times. It’s disgraceful that year after year, as equipment aged and technology became obsolete, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors merrily spent billions of tax dollars on lower priorities than firefighting. Too bad the Board of Supervisors is only interested in changing the subject.
