L.A. County Sheriff: 30% of workforce “unavailable” HotAir

By Thomas A. Smith

It turns out that it s not just New York City hitting the panic button over shortages of first responders caused by municipal vaccine mandates. Out in Los Angeles, L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva sent out a warning over the weekend. With vaccine hesitancy remaining significant among his deputies and other Sheriff s Department employees, he s reporting that as many as 30% of his department s workers are no longer available to provide essential services to the public. The county s Sheriff s Department has more than 100,000 employees, so that means that more than 30,000 workers are no longer on call in some of the highest crime neighborhoods in the state. So how does he propose to address this shortfall? That s apparently up to the County Board of Supervisors who instituted the vaccination mandate because the Sheriff can t just make that many vaccinated workers magically appear. (NY Post)
