I thought Crowley should have gone for one reason. She put the blame on Bass and the city because a Fox reporter kept prodding and she just couldn't take the high road. She sold the city out to protect her own ass. That's a bad leader. Buh Bye.
I have heard that they were sent home because there were not enough operational fire trucks. Crowley was warning that they were in need of repair for one year. Did Bass cut 21 mechanic jobs? That needs to be verified, too. That seems important.
Oakland beware - this is what happens when you think voting for a lifelong politician and imbedded congressperson for mayor is a good thing - also need someone under 70 years old …
🤣 Bass is ass. priceless. This fire chief spoke truth about funding deficit. She wasn't wrong. But, hey, we get it: you can't humiliate your superiors publically. They fucking HATE that. Bass is ass. Pass it along 😂
But you do know that "funding" played ZERO role in those fires, right? Or maybe you think it was just LAFD on these fires.
And no. Real leaders DON'T humiliate their superiors publicly. That's part of leadership. She failed.
