2013 Budget Proposal
Funding Cuts at the State and Federal level are posing significant budgeting challenges for municipalities across the U.S.
● Nearly 48% of cities plan to reduce workforce this year ● Los Angeles predicts over 200 City jobs will be eliminated due to budgetary challenges
● San Bernardino closing all but one library and reducing 100 jobs including Police and Fire positions
● The State of Louisiana is not meeting its obligation to fund District Attorney, Indigent Defender, or mental health
We must continue to take action to be smart about how we get smaller
