The Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates will  met with Mayor Garcetti on March 9^th to present and discuss this year’s White Paper, and listen to his thoughts on the current and coming fiscal years’ budgets.

The Budget Advocates will engage in further discussion about the contents of the White Paper with the City Council Budget & Finance Committee, and then, shortly thereafter, before the full City Council and will at that time add further stakeholder suggestions.

We are particularly interested in getting ideas on potential savings (without increasing Angelenos’ taxes or cutting back services) and suggestions for additional revenue streams.  Feedback must be received by April 30th.

Budget Advocates have put together a survey to solicit your input as a Los Angeles resident!  You can take that survey here.  If you would like to, you may also review the white paper.
