Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa took his budget-balancing campaign to a Silver Lake library on Tuesday, warning that the city is going to have to make cuts that will affect the quality of life for Angelenos.Daily News.
"I am duty-bound to tell the truth and the truth is we can no longer afford the level of services we have," Villaraigosa said at the Silver Lake Library, with about 50 people attending.
"I can't be one of those people who can be all things to all people. There is no situation that will not result in layoffs, that won't result in a reduction in service."

As a LA homeowner, I would accept that as long as Tony Villar and the Gang of 15 (City Council persons) led the way with significant givebacks from their bloated budgets and staff. The City Council needs to concentrate on core (IMPORTANT) services that the City is SUPPOSED to deliver and not on the "feel-good" ones that they want.
