To the editor: I used to be saddened to see the article within the L.A. Occasions that reported the federal authorities has denied cleanup funds for the small companies that have been broken or destroyed within the Altadena/Palisades fires (“In a race to clean up Altadena, businesses are on their own,” Might 8). We want our small companies now greater than ever and so many are struggling, particularly after these fires.
One other article in the identical paper was about President Trump wanting to just accept the “flying palace” so generously being provided by a international nation (“Qatar says no final decision made on gifting Trump a jet to use as Air Force One,” Might 11). The cash it could take to make it safe in order that he can fly his billionaire buddies round may absolutely be used to assist these small companies clear up their property and get again to serving their communities. However we all know that isn’t going to occur.
