 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.

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.
