The local and statewide budget shortfalls are forcing virtually all government entities to tightening their belts. Among them, Los Angeles neighborhood councils are approaching their budgets as most California redevelopment agencies – spend it while ya still got it. The city is revoking all councils’ rollover funds and is cutting their budgets for the coming fiscal year by almost half of what they received in 2010. Whatever is unspent by each council in June, will be swept into the city’s empty coffers.
