Los Angeles: The City of Fees
The City of Los Angeles has furloughed some workers, laid off others and cut services to get rid of a deficit once set at $450 million. At the same time, it's failed to collect some $541 million in unpaid debt.
By Warren Olney • • 1 min readThe City of Los Angeles has furloughed some workers, laid off others and cut services to get rid of a deficit once set at $450 million.
