Council to look at 4-day work week

The Los Angeles City Council moved closer Monday to the possibility of shutting down most city services for one day a week to deal with the ongoing budget shortfall. Daily News.

The city is facing a deficit of at least $40 million in its $7 billion budget from now through the end of the fiscal year in June.

The council's Budget and Finance Committee reviewed a series of proposed cuts to deal with the shortfall that ranged from euthanizing more animals in shelters to prosecuting fewer criminal cases in court.
