County Supervisors’ $1-Million ‘Slush Funds’
Re “Supervisors Can Play Santa All Year,” Nov. 28: This one has me almost speechless! How can it be that we are allowing the L.A. County supervisors to have, in effect, a $1-million petty cash box apiece to use each year with no accountability? The argument that because “we spend billions” a million-dollar slush fund with absolutely no oversight is acceptable is insane. Every billion-dollar company has petty cash boxes with maybe $200 or $300 in them that are audited on a regular basis.
What these people have done is sinful. They should be recalled, and the current practice stopped immediately.
