A bombshell new lawsuit alleges that the LA County Board of Supervisors handed over a massive seven-figure payout to county CEO Fesia Davenport in what critics are calling an illegal “gift of public funds. ” The payout, which was quietly approved in a backroom deal last year and kept under wraps until LAist sniffed it out, was supposedly intended to compensate Davenport for “alleged damage to reputation, embarrassment, and emotional distress” after voters passed a ballot measure that would change her appointed position into an elected one starting in 2028.
