Los Angeles residents angered by local officials’ response to the fires devastating their communities are now questioning how their tax dollars are being used, a researcher told Fox News .
Kristian Fors, a Los Angeles County resident and research fellow at the California-based Independent Institute, told the outlet on Sunday that Californians assume their leaders will fix problems that arise, Fox News“I think at its core level, we, the citizens of the United States and of Los Angeles, we expect certain provisions from our government.
I think the people of California — they’re willing to pay high taxes. They’re willing to support things that maybe they don’t necessarily agree with because there is a basic assumption that underlies it all, that our government is here to take care of us.
Fors shared issues he thinks could have been addressed to help the situation. Two of his suggestions were more favorable insurance policies and additional controlled burns.
