L.A. looking at more cuts

To cover a projected shortfall of nearly $88 million this year, City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana on Friday said the city will need to reduce its workforce by another 230 positions.

Santana warned that further cuts might be needed in coming months if city spending is not checked or if revenue - such as that projected from the leasing of city garages - fails to come through.

"We always knew there would need to be more reductions in the work force," Santana said. "We just didn't know how many. We will have to make an assessment on that later. The good news is that we are able to balance our books with these actions."
