Steve Soboroff, the wildfire recovery czar for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, voiced frustration at a private event regarding his unpaid role, claiming he was misled about funding. Initially promised a $500,000 salary, he transitioned to working without pay after public backlash. Soboroff indicated that he had encountered personal financial strain, expressing his frustration by stating he felt "lied to" and had evidence to support this claim. Subsequently, he retracted his comments, clarifying he did not believe Mayor Bass had intentionally misled him.
"So then I found out that they really didn't have the money, and then I found out I really did have the [personal] bills. ... I was lied to."
"That was not what I feel and not what I meant. I do not think that the mayor had lied or intentionally misled me."
