FBI raids show that at L.A. City Hall, incompetence and corruption are close cousins, writes columnist LATstevelopez.

And doesn’t the FBI have summer outfits? Those dark jackets in mid-July were a definite fashion faux pas.

As Times journalists Dakota Smith, David Zahniser and Emily Alpert Reyes have reported, the FBI searches on Monday were part of its investigation into DWP’s fabulously botched rollout of a new billing system in 2013 and the chaos that followed as numerous customers were sent wildly inaccurate bills. “It’s an insider’s club and this whole debacle shows that if you’re a Democrat in L.A., other people in power aren’t going to watch you and criticize you for things that are clearly wrong and potentially even criminal,” Court said.

“I check their bills and what I have seen is that DWP has been behaving,” the Goreshters’ daughter, Felicia, told me on Tuesday. “The DWP rates are high, but there’s been nothing outrageous, like $50,000.”I still get emails regularly from DWP customers who say their bills have suddenly doubled or tripled without explanation. Tim Blood, a San Diego attorney who represented scads of overcharged DWP ratepayers, told me he still gets from a dozen to several dozen queries every month.
