 LA faces $1 billion shortfall, may eliminate entire departments
Story by Kenneth Schrupp • 12h

(The Center Square) - The City of Los Angeles faces a nearly billion dollar deficit for the coming year, with the city’s budget crisis predating the recent Palisades Fire.
 
In September 2024, City Controller Kevin Mejia warned the city was “going broke” after spending half of its reserves in one year.

Now, it is broke and will require “thousands” of layoffs and vast restructuring to make ends meet.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Don't they need a federal judge to approve layoffs, just like Trump? :pondering:

They will start by eliminating the police, and fire soon afterwards.  Transgender History museum will continue to pay its docents $250/hr.
