## Resource

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) is under fire after suggesting that taxpayers should fund dental care for meth users so they can “succeed” and get jobs. During a candidate forum on homelessness, Bass said: “How many people that you meet that are unhoused don’t have teeth at all? Because meth rots your teeth. You can’t succeed without teeth.” She called for “comprehensive health care” — meaning your tax dollars fixing the damage from drug abuse. This comes as Los Angeles continues to struggle with one of the worst homelessness crises in America, with over 43,000 people on the streets, rampant open drug use, and failing public safety under Bass’ leadership.
