Effort to recall Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass underway after January’s wildfires
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' text messages related to the Palisades Fire were deleted, as noted by the Los Angeles Times report.
Bass was in Ghana during the fires, and her office stated there were 'no responsive records' for the text messages requested.
City lawyer David Michaelson explained that the California Public Records Act does not apply to text messages, noting that the Mayor's phone auto deletes texts.
Bass admitted her trip was a mistake, indicating she would not have traveled had she known the fire's severity.
