The city of Los Angeles excels at setting taxpayer money on fire
Story by Susan Shelley, Los Angeles Daily News • 13h
Perhaps we’ll never know what happened to the tens of billions of dollars that have been wasted in California to address the crisis known as homelessness.
The mystery has only deepened after audits ordered by the state, by Los Angeles County, and by a federal court all found vast gaps in information about where the money went and what, if anything, it bought.
Another gap was revealed by LAist journalist Nick Gerda, who reported that the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, known as LAHSA, is refusing to release public records related to an $800,000 payout of taxpayer funds to settle claims that include whistleblower retaliation. On what exactly was the whistle blown?
LAHSA won’t release that information, although legal experts told LAist that withholding the documents is “unlawful.”
