California. L.A. City Council passes budget that trims police and fire spending. So as if

that place is getting safer and safer, they decide to trim some more to make the place

and trimming layoffs from 1600 to roughly 700 with council member Ennis Hernandez stating we are

facing a nearly $800 million deficit.

The budget restores funding for programs like the Cultural Affairs Department
