Janisse Quiñones, CEO of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, has requested a $700,000 contract for private security, citing rising threats after the Palisades fire. The request comes amid criticism over the utility's response during the fire, particularly regarding inadequate water pressure and an empty reservoir. Quiñones has faced personal attacks concerning her salary and background. In response, she emphasized her qualifications, arguing that criticism often disregards her extensive experience and education.
Quiñones highlighted her credentials, stating, 'Not only do I have 20 years plus serving this country, I also have a mechanical engineering degree that I graduated with honors.'
The DWP received backlash for decreased water pressure during the Palisades fire and for the prolonged empty state of the Santa Ynez Reservoir.
