Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says city finances are so tight right now, she is proposing laying off more than 1,600 city workers to balance the budge


So which district judge in NYC will say they can't layoff anyone?

According to data from the L.A. Controller's Office, in fiscal year 2022 the city paid out just over $91 million from lawsuits against the city. The next year that number jumped up to $166 million.

In fiscal year 2024, it ballooned to $247 million.


Damn

The first thing they should do is defund the police throughout the entire state. Effective immediately. Anyone who is not far left can and will leave. Let the remaining commies deal with the fallout.

Calpers is a mess. I remember a few years back they had some hotshot chini fella in charge of investments and he somehow lost billions when the market was rocking.

Then the state had a shortfall (calpers is woefully undervested) so they said "If we took the entire portfolio and invested in these dot.com companies, using their previous three years of enormous growth, and projected it to continue for the next 10 years, voila, calpers has a surplus, no reason to help fund it.

Now lets discuss the rico mess with ripping off medicaid/care so he could give the money to illegal healthcare.

Newsom put a tax on health care providers, then submitted for matching funds from medicaid/care, then refunded the insurance companies and kept the excess he fraudulently billed the federal govt for. It was a planned orchestrated theft plan.

Now can someone look at that fast rail ukraine look a like

Impossible.

Los Angeles has the third largest economy in the world if it was its own country or something.

It’s not hard to see “if we give billions away, we might not have enough.” Is it?

O man, just wait until the bill for the shite sandwich CALPers is comes due. 3 billion will seem like couch cushion money.


Didn’t the state have a trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities like 10 years ago? I can’t imagine what that figure is now

Article says they’ve paid out over half a billion in lawsuits over the past two years. That’s insane.

CalPERS has roughly 25% of its pension liabilities unfunded. It’s around $180B.

Even Louisiana TRSL has a smaller unfunded accrued liability in percentage terms and obviously dollar terms.

The article said over 500million paid out on civil lawsuits.
This needs to be fixed.
a-hole cop beats someone senseless? He should be fired, and if needed, prosecuted. Any lawsuits should be towards the individuals responsible, not the city.

Does Caliexico have laws like Louisiana that allow judgements on government ange are treated secondly and regular operating expenses are prioritized instead of judgements. So in other words you can win a judgement against a city, town, or state, but good luck collecting as their regular expenditures are first and then your judgement maybe paid or negotiated to a post judgement settlement for cents on the dollar.


Of course the cities know this and drag their feet, sometimes they will settle if they know the opposing attorney or want to make a political statement.
