An effort to recall Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass officially launched its website on Tuesday. The Democratic mayor faces significant backlash due to her response to the wildfires that burned through the Pacific Palisades in January,

A movement is underway to recall Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over her handling of January’s deadly and destructive Palisades Fire. The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that paperwork had been filed with the Los Angeles Ethics Commission after it was initially filed with the state of California last week.

Mayor Karen Bass credited DWP crews for working seven days a week to restore and flush out toxins from the water supply.

Bass said the recovery efforts in the Pacific Palisades area are months ahead of expectations. She emphasized the city's commitment to expediting the rebuilding process​ and helping families return to their homes.

The action comes on the eve of the fire’s two-month anniversary, as L.A. Mayor Karen Bass looks to reset the focus after weeks of tumult, not just in the response, but at City Hall.
