Michael dives into the controversy surrounding the firing of LA Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, and the heated appeal process with Mayor Karen Bass at the center of it all. He replays a key moment from January 7th and breaks down the critical elements of Crowley’s upcoming hearing—including a recap of the fire-event timeline and Mayor Bass’s trip to Ghana. Michael also examines a new PPIC survey revealing California’s political divergence from the rest of the country, and he wraps up by discussing a FilmLA report that signals Hollywood’s declining role as a hub for film content creation as tax incentives lure opportunities to other states.
