## Resource

Former LA Fire Department union secretary Adam Walker faces felony charges for allegedly stealing over $82,000 from a firefighter aid foundation he controlled alone, funneling funds into his personal accounts to cover gambling, mortgage, and RV loans—while faking receipts to hide the theft. Prosecutors, backed by the California DOJ and LA County DA, vow to hold corrupt officials accountable, with LA Mayor calling the allegations “deeply troubling.” Walker’s arraignment is set for Wednesday.
