Let Mayor Villaraigosa know your thoughts about the next city budget

On the Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council's Web site is a link where residents can let Mayor Villaraigosa know their thoughts about the city's budget for the next fiscal year.

Villaraigosa must present his budget plan by April 20 to the L.A. City Council.

Visit www.lakebalboanc.org, click on the link and let the mayor know your budget priorities and your thoughts about the city's revenues and expenditures.

"This year, L.A. will be challenged by many issues, including the uncertain impact of the turbulent national economy, likely revenue shortfalls and increased service demands," Villaraigosa states on the first page of the survey.

Let him know how you think the city should face those challenges.
