Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates provide guidance for L.A.’s deficit

The Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates delivered a letter to Los Angeles elected officials on Tuesday, March 25, urging them to avoid across-the-board cuts without considering their long-term impacts and offered recommendations to address a nearly $1 billion deficit at City Hall in the coming fiscal year.

Glenn Bailey and Jay Handal, co-chairs of the Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates, delivered the group’s annual White Paper, a report on the city’s spending and services, to Mayor Karen Bass and the Los Angeles City Council.
