The San Pedro resident said she has faced retaliation from her bosses for contacting the news media and Cal/OSHA, a state agency that monitors workplace safety, about the dangers posted by rats, fleas and typhus. She also contends that L.A. officials failed in their obligation to ensure that sidewalks in the Civic Center, many of them occupied by homeless residents, are safe and sanitary.A Garcetti spokesman had no comment.
Greenwood filed her claim last month. Claims are typically submitted at City Hall before the filing of a lawsuit. City officials contend that the rodent problem was triggered by the ongoing demolition of Parker Center, the former headquarters of the Los Angeles Police Department, which sits across the street from City Hall East.
She deserves every single cent. Garcetti destroyed LA. Newsom/Brown/Kamala/Pelosi destroyed California.
