Los Angeles City Council voted Thursday to eliminate 4,000 municipal jobs

The council instructed “all departments and offices of the city, including elected offices, to expedite the elimination of 4,000 positions by any means necessary, including layoffs.” Under the council’s instruction, the positions must be identified within 45 days and scheduled for elimination as of July 1, the beginning of the next fiscal year.
Eliminating 4,000 positions does not necessarily mean 4,000 people will be put out on the street. Some workers may lose their current positions but be transferred to other departments and offices that do not draw salaries from the depleted general fund. SOURCE

Does this make any sense to anyone outside of California? Didn’t Obama say he had saved all these jobs?

The Los Angeles Board of Education voted Tuesday to lay off as many as 5,400 teachers and support personnel for the upcoming school year as employees protested raucously outside the meeting.
The vote came hours after the board voted to save the jobs of 1,996 elementary school teachers using federal stimulus funds.
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation’s second largest school system, faces a $596 million budget shortfall for the 2009-10 school year.

The district is getting about $180 million in federal stimulus money, and one teachers union said all of that money should be used immediately to save jobs.
But Cortines said that won’t happen. Read More

This crisis will hit many schools in America before its over. Wonder if those 5,400 teachers and support personnel feel that they are better off today than they were 3 years ago?

Are you Los Angeles School teachers at a Tea Party today? If not you should be!
