Mayor Bass Seeks State Funding for LA’s Wildfire Recovery

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is actively seeking state funding to aid the city's recovery from recent deadly wildfires. In a series of meetings with California lawmakers and state officials in Sacramento, Mayor Bass emphasized the urgent need for emergency funds to rebuild and strengthen the city's infrastructure against future disasters.

According to reports from KCRA, the wildfires have left a significant impact on Los Angeles, necessitating nearly $2 billion in state funds.

California lawmakers are considering the proposal, recognizing the severity of the situation and the critical role that state assistance can play in the city's recovery efforts.
