The article discusses L.A. Mayor Karen Bass appointing former L.A. Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff to lead the wildfire rebuilding efforts. It highlights his $500,000 salary for three months of work and implies that this amount is excessive and unnecessary. However, the article fails to mention that the funding does not come from the government but rather from philanthropic groups and independent donors. Instead, it suggests—without clarification—that the money is sourced from taxpayers or charitable funds, creating a misleading impression about the funding’s origin.
