To the editor: I discover it humorous that the county has employed a “fiscal professional” to work with the Los Angeles Unified Faculty District to get rid of its projected deficit (“LAUSD faces ‘extreme’ indicators of insolvency; county warns it might take management of finances,” July 9). You don’t want an professional. You simply want widespread sense.
Instance: When Andres Chait was appearing superintendent, his wage was $395,867, plus a automobile with a driver. Who’s he, Elton John? By the best way, the president of america’ wage is $400,000, simply $4,133 greater than Chait’s.
I’ll speculate that there are examples like this all through each company in L.A., from the LAUSD to the Division of Water and Energy to the Police Division. The rotting meals in Boyle Heights just isn’t the one factor that stinks in L.A.
