To the editor: I discover it humorous that the county has employed a “fiscal skilled” to work with the Los Angeles Unified Faculty District to eradicate its projected deficit (“LAUSD faces ‘severe’ signs of insolvency; county warns it could take control of budget,” July 9). You don’t want an skilled. 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 way in which, the president of the US’ 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 food in Boyle Heights just isn’t the one factor that stinks in L.A.
