I was talking about LA county. I was just wondering why all that is talked about is the negative,yet there are cities and counties that are balancing budgets and not cutting services to. And I still would like an answer as to why the watchdogs poster child Scott Walker left police and fire out of his reforms? Hmmmmmm!!!!

NTHEOC: Thanks for the info that Gov. Walker doesn’t have a college degree. I didn’t know that. My opinion of him has risen greatly.

County? City? Which are you talking about? You mixed them up.

As to Los Angeles *City*, Brian Calle has written about it being near bankruptcy, quoting former Mayor Richard Riordan:

But so has the liberal Huffington Post:

Dyspeptic says,
there ain’t no Scott Walker here to take on the union puppet masters
========================
That’s right Dyspeptic,No Scott Walker here!! Unlike Gov Walker our Gov has a college degree and is not in the pockets of big business private sector puppet masters! Hey Dys, why did Scott Walker leave out police and fire in his pension and collective bargaining reform???

Read a little about the city of vallejo BK,lol!!!!
Vallejo was in a similar bind when it filed for bankruptcy four years ago. Now Mayor Osby Davis wonders if the painful road to recovery was worth the cost.The Bay Area city of 112,000 was forced to shut down two of its fire stations and today fixes just 10% of its crumbling roads. Its workforce, including police and firefighters, is about half its pre-bankruptcy size and those people left are “insanely” overworked.
Meanwhile, Vallejo spent $10 million on legal fees. It ended up with employee contracts that Osby thinks the city could have struck more cheaply if it had stayed out of bankruptcy court and turned to the bargaining table.
His advice to other cities on the financial brink? Don’t do it.
I’m sure there’s a few more “GHETTO” cities that the politicians have mis- managed financially,but overall the majority of cities in california will not go the BK route!!!Btw rex,police and fire are essential services that will never really be slashed like you want!!!!
