Karen Bass: “The city attorney in Los Angeles is an independently elected…”

“I think those lawsuits came out of the governor's office. The city attorney is working on a lawsuit on behalf of the city, but I do not believe that's been filed yet. The city attorney in Los Angeles is an independently elected official. which is unlike. I mean, what is common is individual cities don't have their own city attorney office. We have a city attorney office who is elected with about a thousand lawyers that work for the city.” (08:53–08:58)
