Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 how this is legal? LA Mayor Karen Bass says any donations towards her campaign, will be matched via taxpayer funds up to 6 times its amount. For example, if someone donated $5 to her.. the city will match it with taxpayer dollars, turning it into a $35 donation. So, if you’re a Republican paying your taxes, it’s literally going to Karen Bass… How the F did we end up with such stupid laws?
