Overspending, Surpluses Found in City of L.A.’s End of Year Fiscal Report
Both good and bad news came with the final report of the City of Los Angeles’ 2022-23 Fiscal Year. Areas of overspending and untapped surpluses were both found in the final report, but members of the committee honed in on potential uses for surpluses in the Recreation and Parks Department and the Library Department.
Metro Continues to Gather Data, Explores Options to Assist Homeless Population

A Letter From Mayor Bass Regarding Renter Protections
