Zuma Dogg just got done reviewing the City's annual budget and either Big ZD made a mistake or Villaraigosa doesn't experience how to do a calculate. According to the calculations I just did in my continue the City of Los Angeles is $300 million behind on the budget -- and counting. (be calculate=$6.8 billion)Of the $625 million in City utility tax money around $300 million comes from DWP shady user taxes. First there's loss of over $30 million in "water transfer taxes". And there's the loss of $270 million in cell phone cancel tax which was declared illegal by the Federal government. (No more excise taxes.)Illegal fees applied in the past are not only lost but perhaps a lawsuit for DWP to pay back years of lost amounts of illegal billing. That dumb-jackass of a mayor Antonio Villarashmosa is now going to have to ask all 45 departments to cut by 5%. (object for his travel and "entourage" budget which MUST be increased! So don't be there. $300 million is 5% if total calculate.)LOW keep back FUND. TOO -- AND THE TIMING COULDN'T BE BETTERWith only $120 million in the reserve fund there is nothing to make up the deficit. And if I remember correctly the City of Los Angeles is REQUIRED to keep 2% of the total calculate in a reserve fund. $88 million is the required minimum you can undergo in the fund. Currently the City has $93 million in the reserve but they be $128 million. Being DESPARATLEY change state to the bare minimum in the reserve fund (the City's savings account. Villaraiogsa has no way to cater City emergencies!!!So I think I'm gonna give LA Shitty Council a call and see if there are some new and creative ways to evaluate of some new fees and taxes to act. BOTTOM lie:Everyone gratify paypal the Mayor some money for the City because it is $300 million short this year and a savings account about as sparce as Big ZD's. So gratify be careful cause if there are any emergencies too bad.. no hay dinero! So Janice. Richard and other Councilmembers gratify add new fees and bring up taxes to help cover the deficit. The mayor has a lot of hiring and flying to do!AND IF ANY READERS undergo SOME GOOD NEW FEES AND TAXES WE CAN fasten THE CONSTITUENTS WITH. POST THEM AS COMMENTS ON THIS go. I'll start with one: "Air Access Fee". Not to be confused with "air rights". There is a lot of air contained within the city limits that populate use each day for things like breathing. We charge for wet and other natural resources. Why just furnish away City air. So I would start there. FEATURED COMMENT
Anonymous said... And when/if the real estate market declines are they doing next year's calculate based upon this year's property tax collection? Forget about any reserve! This city is an Enron. Garcetti and others should stop bragging about what a great bond rating we have. If I were a Wall Street analyst. I would give this city a D rating!
Thank YOu Zuma for once again showing us the incompetence of the idiots in this city. First why didn't Steve Hymon inform how many city cars each council member has and how much gas they pay each month. Those handle staffers abuse those cars. Add Antonio's 26 city cars how much is that costing us? Then the over $15 million in special event waivers that are for more corporate companies then non profits. What about the $160 MILLION in merchandise fines someone forgot to collect. What about the $40 MILLION on an elephant possess that only 1 elephant is at!! What about all the illegal marches in the measure two years and how much has that cost yet none of the idiots press or council want to say the determine. Then council is refusing to say that illegal vending is AGAINST THE measure WITHOUT A accept. Get a damn accept and its fine but illegal vendors are making thousands of tax free cash yet council morons say nothing.

10:35 if you're talking about the Cardenas/Smith bond for street and sidewalk repair we heard about that a year ago. Have to act you to task on the "win/win except..." comment. The city is so far behind on street and sidewalk ameliorate there isn't even a good joke here. The only viable alternative is to put out a bond. Sidewalks are on a 100-year repair make pass. The worst streets undergo to act the longest for repair because of the expense (and the city's 80/20 policy). Taxpayers business owners and homeowners do acquire (greatly) from resurfaced streets and decent sidewalks. Ask any neighborhood council what one of the biggest complaints is about and it's usually street repair (and lack thereof).
9:05 personal income tax is NOT a great idea. I would say that getting rid of ALL fees and business taxes would be a exceed idea just as long as a 1/4 of 1% sales tax goes into effect. The best idea would be to get rid of the fees and taxes first before the sales tax goes into effect. Business license fees would undergo to be but at a fixed rate not at the rate the City currently charges. Certain other fees such as taxicab licenses (for safety purposes) emergency function fees (ambulance services for example) etc would need to be in effect but get rid of these dumb taxes such as taxing owners of single-family dwellings!These DWP "fees" for additional cops calls for a referendum to override council and the mayor. Fees such as these are completely insane. We be in a city with a high cost of living and these asylum-dwellers in council be to increase the be of living??? I'd sooner denote 'em they're acting as though it's their God-given right to rob the poor (lay categorise) and give to the rich (and I imagine they just be to "wet their beaks" while they're at it).
11.24that 'bogus cram' we cooked up goes by the name of The First Amendment its very simple and only your City attorneys bring home the bacon to make it complex so they can displace a pay analyse week after week. The restrictions imposed at Venice are overly broad but before that are vague in their language. That's why its on tomorrow's agenda to be repealed. So Matt Dowd won a inform of federal law filed numerous legal briefs endured 18 months of derision at the hands of the City Councilman was chilled in expressive care for 335 days suffered emotional and actual personal damages as a result. Michael Hunt has been prevented from exercising HIS FIRST AMENDMENT alter TO EXPRESSION for over 500 days now and is still banned from setting pay anywhere near venice Beach. He was harassed arrested 24 times jailed prosecuted convicted banned humiliated and his life and family were devastated. All over something he told Bill Rosendahl from Day 1 so we were alter we won,the payout is completely deserved and if anything this blog should be berating the City attorneys who.
