Imagine having the OPPORTUNITY to make LA City Hall work better, more democratic, more responsive, & more transparent and accountable? 🤔 The status-quo bureaucrats & the political establishment are fighting HARD against those Charter Reforms and they are gaslighting all of you.

Two years ago, City Hall cut our fraud, waste, and abuse unit's budget. Today, we still haven't gotten those investigator positions back. Even AFTER catching TENS of MILLIONS of $ in fraud, waste, and abuse with only FIVE investigators for the 2ND LARGEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY -

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! Trying to decimate the Controller’s Office and mess with transparency and accountability on YOUR TAX DOLLARS is not a good idea. Thank you all for showing up at 10am on a Saturday and sending hundreds of emails defending our Office.

What do you notice about the City of LA's budget priorities over the past 13 years? 🤔 I'll point out one thing: the department that maintains, preserves, and enhances our roads, sidewalks, and trees has a SMALLER operating budget than it did 13 years ago! Know which one? 🛠️

The City of LA is SPENDING money (during a budget crisis) to STOP Venice Dell - an affordable housing project that the public wants, the City desperately needs, & that 👏 WAS 👏 ALREADY 👏 APPROVED 👏 by the City & the State. (Even a federal Judge spoke up about it 👨⚖️)

🚨 Did you know that the City of LA did NOT TRACK homelessness spending until we took Office? That's because we're doing it with our accounting! We found out that the City of LA DID NOT SPEND close to HALF A BILLION dollars of their homelessness budget last fiscal year.

Today, I went to the LAFPP Board to try and save the City tens of millions of dollars & avoid hundreds of layoffs for next fiscal year. Unfortunately, we weren't successful. The City is currently paying more than we need to when it comes to making Police Pension Contributions.

How the City of LA's Screw-Up in excess police contributions (contributing more than they needed to at the time) keeps taking MILLIONS MORE that could fund things like Animal Welfare or our Audit / Fraud, Waste, & Abuse Unit. BTW, this is NOT LAPD's fault, it's City Hall's. 💰

City Council voted 15-0! What transparency and accountability do you want to see on LAPD? If the Controller's Office gets this independent Police Oversight Bureau, it will be a BIG WIN for transparency & accountability, especially when we dedicate $3.4 BILLION annually to LAPD.

Charter Reform Commission meeting ended. 💚 The good news, our powers and duties remain intact thanks to your support! 💔 The unfortunate news, the Commission only passed two out of our six recommendations to strengthen and empower the Controller's Office.

Do you think the City will be in another budget deficit this fiscal year? 🤔 With the start of fiscal year, we are tracking to see if the City is going to be in a third year of consecutive budget deficits. With city departments & services getting cut, let's see what happens.
