    A deep @latimes look at VP prospect Karen Bass found that from 2008 to 2011, her campaign committees gave nearly $100K to a nonprofit she co-founded. In 2010, the nonprofit paid Bass $70K+ in consulting fees directly and through one of its contractors.

    At the L.A. Fire Department, you can pay for sex on duty, batter a cop, lie on medical records, make racially offensive remarks — and keep your job. The LAFD almost never terminates firefighters, even if they commit crimes: L.A. Times investigation.

    An @latimes investigation that began with a tip yields significant results; please keep the tips coming: Minority contractors claiming to be 'Native American' to undergo nationwide review
    William Wages, owner of Vortex Construction in Bakersfield, has claimed that he is Cherokee Indian which allowed him to win contracts set aside for minorities. Wages is the brother-in-law of U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
