THIRD DODGE

Bass skips homelessness hearing a third time, having already quit the agency under investigation.

“A billion dollars walks out the side door of a homeless agency and the lady in charge of it doesn't dodge the hearing once, she dodges it three times — and quits the board right before the third one, like resigning from the crime scene counts as leaving town. That's not being busy, that's timing. Somebody's gonna eat that billion, and it ain't gonna be the folks at the ribbon-cutting.”
