Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is pushing back after the Trump administration suspended federal funding for the city’s Homeless Services Authority and a federal judge stated the agency appeared to have committed “obvious fraud.”
Instead of applauding the administration’s audit of the agency, Bass warned that pausing funding could ultimately cost lives. However, allegations of rampant fraud, if true, would mean that the homeless people who need resources the most are deprived of them.
I joined “Fox News @ Night” Thursday to discuss the Trump administration’s decision to suspend the agency’s federal funding pending an inspector general investigation.
Bass’ office said the mayor has “zero tolerance for mismanagement and negligence” and previously directed the city to evaluate how to move away from the agency.
That raises the obvious question: What exactly is a zero-tolerance policy today?
