California: We deserve better leaders.

The revelation was made by the Daily Mail who obtained a leaked internal memo.

"The LAFD is still going through a [financial year] 2024/2025 $48.8million budget reduction exercise with the [City Attorney's Office]," the document read.

"The only way to provide a cost savings would be to close as many as 16 fire stations (not resources, fire stations); this equates to at least one fire station per City Council District."
