To the publisher: Thank you for your article on the confusing proposal of Mayor Karen Bass to close the climate emergency mobilization office, knowing that climate change will only become regularly and predictable each year (“Climate change is cooking in Los Angeles. Karen Bass cares? “ May 1). We, people, do not support Bass's decision, that's for sure.
In 2023The California Public Policy Institute said 85% of Californians have expressed themselves to concerns about heat waves, the highest concern among respondents earning less than $ 40,000 per year (89%). If it was a response to budgetary constraints, the proposal seems to me a case of soup and book. Eaton climate change and fires caused billions of dollars. I urge the municipal council to say no to the proposal, forcing the bass to reorganize its priorities.
Dear Gilmore, Newhall
