At the same time, hundreds of city workers descended on Los Angeles City Hall to protest plans to furlough workers 26 days and close down basic services twice a month.

Villaraigosa, joined by the mayors of San Diego, Santa Ana and Sacramento, pleaded with the state to repay any funds that it takes from cities.
