Villaraigosa plans new round of L.A. City Hall job cuts
Los Angeles Times | Feb. 11, 2010 | 2:08 p.m.
Villaraigosa plans new round of L.A. City Hall job cuts Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Thursday he is planning a second major wave of City Hall job cuts, moving to eliminate between 1,200 and 2,000 positions to get the struggling city through the remainder of the calendar year. Appearing at a luncheon hosted by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, Villaraigosa said the reductions would be sought for the fiscal year that starts July 1 -- and come on top of the 1,000 jobs that he targeted last week for elimination. Villaraigosa said the cuts would lead, at a minimum, to reduced library hours and parks and recreation programs. And he dismissed suggestions that he lacks the legal authority to slash the size of the city's payroll.

I was reading that the City of LA will be bankrupt by the middle of next summer.

Not the one I was referring to, but an opinion essay in the LA Daily News

This is the opinion columnist's article I was thinking of. It uses the word "broke", rather than "bankrupt":

A not publicized fact is that mayor Villaraigosa gave Mexico 200 million of our dollars for a Green power project...geothermal power....with no electrical lines present to bring the power back into the USA.
In essence he threw our money away into the Mexican politically corrupt cesspool irresponsibly and criminally. I got this info from IBEW local 18 union members. So where is the investigation? |
