The 11-hour Budget Committee Meeting Nixes Many Cuts

Zach Behrens of LAist hung in to cover Monday’s 11-hour marathon budget committee meeting and reports on what cuts the committee recommended, and which it turned down flat.

Thus far LA’s Cultural Affairs Department, which was scheduled for the ax, was thankfully spared. (The full City Council will look at the budget on Wednesday.)

But, judging by his Tweets, by meeting’s end Zach was getting a little punch drunk. (Can’t say that I blame him.)
