Leave leftists in charge, and government degenerates into a looting spree. Los Angeles County recently paid out $2 million to its CEO to settle her claim that she was harmed by a ballot measure passed by voters that would force her to run for office:
CEO Fesia Davenport had requested the settlement for what she claimed was “reputational harm, embarrassment and physical, emotional and mental distress caused by the Measure G.”
The greed of these barnacles is astonishing.
Measure G will transform the CEO job from an appointed position into an elected one starting in 2028. Voters approved it last year after most of the county Board of Supervisors placed it on the ballot.
She alleges that the wording of the proposal implies she has not provided strong leadership, thereby hurting her feelings.
She also wrote that she deserved compensation from her career as the at-will CEO being cut short by the shift to elected CEO in late 2028, which she said also would lessen how much retirement she’d earn.
Davenport is 56 years old. Note that she takes it for granted that voters would not choose her voluntarily, even in woke LA County.
With pay and benefits, she has been pulling in a staggering $810,319/year, compliments of taxpayers. For their money, taxpayers got LA County’s historic first black CEO.
