ladwp board president cynthia mcclain-hill stayed at a fancy, $700 a night hotel in dubai during COP28. ladwp employees flagged that she filled out a false per diem form, but that didn't stop her.
That's a shocking per diem for 3 people. I work for the state of California and our hotel accommodation for most counties is around $100. I get the appeal of wanting to stay at a resort, but a public servant should pay the balance above what is approved out of their own pocket. Abuses like this make us subject to so much scrutiny at the agency level and from the public.
