1,000 Layoffs -- Who Gets Axed? The List

| | Comments (8) | TrackBacks (0)
The City Council takes up CAO Miguel Santana's three-year plan to restructure city government Tuesday to reorganize departments, possibly eliminating Human Services, Neighborhood Empowerment and other agencies.

He sent his list of the 1,000 positions to be eliminated with some of all of the workers transferring to the DWP, Harbor, Airport and special funds. The list of positions was obtained by OurLA.org where it has been posted.

Isn't that a trick question?

It's not who gets axed, it's who gets asked to transfer.

This isn't a layoff; it's musical chairs.

Anyhow, great work at finding the list. I can hardly wait to see it. My guess is no one on the Mayor's staff.

I'm calling B.S. on the Mayor's offer to transfer general fund employees to the proprietary departments. Employees were sent notification after business hours on Friday and given until the end of Monday to apply, so many did not get the notice until it was too late. Addtionally, the proprietary departments did not disclose all of their vacancies to the Mayor's office. There were hardly any administrative postions made available which is a complete lie. Of course, the Mayor's staff doesn't have a clue on how to check the information given to them.

Loss of one job in Controller office, getting just $55,000 will "endanger the city's ability to monitor its fiscal situation," the impact report says. That sounds penny-wise, pound foolish. Meanwhile it turns out that the 3 calligraphers are each getting about $10,000/year more - if Bill Rosendahl wants to use some of his slush fund for them fine, but he'd better not raise property taxes to keep them, like he's threatened. On the other hand he's saying he wants to see proof that the city attorney's office is actually saving money like he claims, which has not been done.

But the real problem is just that L A county but especially city have just become a lot poorer as the middle class has left and according to a report in today's Times, 4 of 10 residents are "extreme poverty," making under $11,000 for a family of 4. It doesn't say how many are legal residents. With this many poor families, many with a number of kids to educate, give free meals to and so on, no wonder we don't have much money left for affordable housing for citizens who fall on hard times.

What's wrong with this movie? I find it's fantastic! Why would anyone give a bad review, my take is that they set too high expectations! - NO I mean seriously, lol.. Watch it online FRE3: FreeMoviesCafe. c o m

@mrhiccupe: Sorry I have to disagree, the movie was marvellous. I enjoyed it so much. In fact, it's the best to date without a doubt! You watch it online again at: FreeMoviesCafe. c o m
