Antonio Villaraigosa
A new city budget calling for 1,200 layoffs, unpaid furloughs and a freeze on police expansion has been signed by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
The $7 billion budget orders 26 unpaid days for city employees, the equivalent of a 10 percent pay cut. It also puts an end to the mayor's push to increase the size of the police force.
Still looming over the city are a possible 781 additional layoffs and 11 more furlough days, as well as $54 million in potential cuts to police and firefighters that could still be ordered.
Those cuts would fill a $95 million gap created because the City Council refused funding transfers recommended by Villaraigosa.
