Sheila Kuehl and Eric Garcetti Gave "Peace Over Violence" an Open Budget to Create an Unnecessary Sexual Harassment Helpline

Documents appear to support the contention that LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and others, gave an open checkbook to Patti Giggans to create a "Sexual Harassment helpline" for the MTA. The helpline receives perhaps one phone call per week.

This tweet from investigative reported Cece Woods: "Memo from Patti Giggans expressing gratitude to Sheila Kuehl for the open budget. #BREAKING @SheilaKuehl @MayorOfLA @ericgarcetti gives Patti Giggins @PeaceOvrViolnce permission to “create a generous budget”with public funds & just denied on @FOXLA knowledge of the contract. Here is communication w/ Kuehl’s office & @metrolosangeles @BillFOXLA @Elex_Michaelson"

On September 14, 2022, the Santa Monica home of Sheila Kuehl was raided by LA County Sheriff's deputies executing a search warrant, in connection with a Federal corruption probe. The Wilshire Blvd. headquarters of Peace Over Violence was also searched.
