When public money gets this big and accountability gets this blurry, people start smelling a racket.

California does not need a literal mafia to produce mafia-style results.

Once the money gets this big and the accountability gets this fuzzy, corruption doesn't need a dramatic face.

BRIEFING

Grant here. It's not necessarily a huge shocker that there's corruption in California. After all, what's a government without some corruption? It's practically the name of the game, unfortunately. But in California there's a literal mafia running their water system. It's honestly the modern-day version of the famous mafias that once ran rampant in the U.S. Let’s break it down.

This entire corrupt scheme is being exposed by probably the most random person possible: Spencer Pratt. Yes, the guy who was made famous by the early 2000's MTV reality show The Hills. But now, he's getting into the political world, and he's shining a big light on the corruption in his state.

As he points out, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has enormous money flowing through it, salary records showing more than 100 LADWP employees with total compensation above $500,000 in 2023, and multiple employees above $600,000. And the structure is so layered with boards, bureaucracy, and political insulation that it is truly operating like a utility mafia on the down low.

This is literally mind blowing

Spencer Pratt exposes Los Angeles Department of Water and Power salaries

- Over 100 LADWP employees earn an annual compensation of over $500,000 per year each
- 26 LADWP employees earn more than $600,000 thousand dollars per year
- 4 top level LADWP employees earn more than $700,000 dollars a year
- The LADWP has a combined water and power budget of 11 billion dollars

I looked into it further, and get this

100% of leadership and oversight of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are aligned with Democrats

Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass appointed the 5 member Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which sets policy and approves major decisions like executive hires and salaries

California is essentially run by the mafia

They are literally giving themselves $500,000 -$800,000 EACH and this is just one department

DEBRIEFING

What Pratt is exposing here is just yet another layer of corruption on top of the growing heap of deceit we're seeing coming out of California.

This all runs aside Nick Shirley's recent investigations in the state, where he exposes how so many of these public and quasi-public systems in the state look like they're built to move money first and answer questions later. It's literally like the mafia...

So what we're seeing unfolding in Cali thanks to folks like Pratt and Shirley is a sneak peak into a deeply layered cake of pure corruption. And honestly, I feel like we're all just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
