    LA Budget Back and Forth

    Mayor Villaraigosa and city budget cuts. Originally, the Mayor’s budget for next year called for eliminating 761 city jobs. But while the City Council was debating the matter yesterday, the Mayor asked for the vote to be delayed. As the LA Times put it this morning, the Council, “brushed aside the Mayor’s request.” David Zanhiser wrote that line.
