Consulting Firm Hired for Public Engagement on Wildfires

Los Angeles County has hired a consulting firm associated with anti-Trump retired general Stanley McChrystal to handle public engagement about recent wildfires. McChrystal has a history of criticizing Presidents Obama and Trump. The decision to hire McChrystal was announced in February for an independent review of evacuation policies. Another controversial arrangement involved the Los Angeles City Council hiring Hagerty Consulting despite past issues with misappropriating funds.
