More layoffs for L.A. possible

With the revenue outlook continuing to teeter uncertainly, a Los Angeles City Council committee Tuesday recommended the city make 1,000 more layoffs next year than the 761 already planned by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Daily News.

The Budget and Finance Committee adopted the recommendation from Chief Legislative Analyst Gerry Miller, who said uncertainties over $53 million in revenue from the lease of parking structures means the city should plan to eliminate 1,761 positions.

"We recognize that these recommendations will have major impacts on city services and city employees," Miller said. "However, there continues to be significant risk to the city's financial condition."
