500k for three months is a ridiculous salary on top of it

Truly... wow... huge if true... No way anyone could've predicted this happening @nolympicsla.bsky.social Here’s a link to the “GrowAnnenberg” page citing Community Partners: https://growannenberg.org/grants/8321/community-partners

Here’s the LA Times article citing Soboroff being paid $500k by “Community Partners”… no reference to the Annenberg Foundation, who Soboroff is previously connected to. Randy Johnson, longtime real estate exec will also work w/ Soboroff & will make $250k https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-08/whos-in-charge-of-palisades-fire-recovery

Faced with fierce criticism over her chief wildfire recovery officer’s planned salary of $500,000 for 90 days of work, Mayor Karen Bass reversed course Saturday evening and said Steve Soboroff would receive no compensation

in a city bursting with corruption this still manages to shock. and the mayor has proven herself to be a series of never ending embarrassing disappointments for the city.

Oh, I never donate to these types of charities.
Never. Ever.

I know some friends who had losses. Simply directly contribute to them.

Another very obvious sign of grift here is how the fuck does a city/county that routinely catches on fire need expensive outside consultants to advise on fire recovery? Might make sense if we'd gotten hit by a type of natural disaster we don't have local experience with, but fire? 🤨

Right

Truly disgusting how people like that can take advantage of serious vital fund raising efforts for their own gain. My friends and coworkers have lost homes and communities and we are facing an even longer journey to rebuild solely because of greed
