The Los Angeles City Controller says that officials are preparing to
declare a fiscal emergency due to several factors, and over 600 layoffs
are “on the table.”

City Controller Kenneth Mejia stated late Monday night that massive
liability payouts, overspending and revenue shortfalls are the main
reasons behind the fiscal emergency declaration.

“In order to balance the budget, 614 layoffs are on the table,” Mejia said
on X. “The city will do its best to transfer employees [and] fill vacant positions.”

Mejia’s post included a bar graph breaking down the layoffs by department;
of the 614 anticipated job cuts, 248 are under the “police – civilians” category. Other employees described as “personnel” made up the next
largest chunk of layoffs, with 57.

Police – Civilians: 248 layoffs
Personnel: 57 layoffs
Sanitation: 44 layoffs
Fire – Sworn: 41 layoffs
Information Technology Agency: 34 layoffs
General Services: 33 layoffs
Transportation: 29 layoffs
Street Services: 24 layoffs
Engineering: 23 layoffs
City Planning: 14 layoffs
City Administrative Officer: 10 layoffs
Building and Safety: 9 layoffs
Street Lighting: 8 layoffs
Youth Development: 8 layoffs
Civil, Human Rights and Equity: 7 layoffs
City Clerk: 4 layoffs
Community Investment for Families: 4 layoffs
Disability: 4 layoffs
Neighborhood Empowerment: 4 layoffs
Contract Administration: 4 layoffs
Economic and Workforce Development: 4 layoffs
Public Works Board: 2 layoffs
Aging: 1 layoff
In April, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass unveiled a $47.9 billion budget that
officials said at the time was presented during a period of “unprecedented financial challenges.”

The budget was signed earlier this month.

City Controller Mejia noted just days ago that immigration raid protests
cost L.A. taxpayers over $30 million. In addition, a $5 million loan was
also approved by the City Council for the Los Angeles Police Department overtime during the unrest.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
