One question we get asked A LOT is: WHERE DO CANNABIS BUSINESS TAXES GO? 🤔 They go to the General Fund, where at least: • 36% goes to LAPD • 13% goes to LAFD • 6% goes to General City Purposes Last fiscal year, the City collected $112 MILLION in Cannabis Business Taxes. 💰
OUR BUDGET DEFICIT/PROCESS RECOMMENDATIONS📝 1) Don't eliminate job positions: Authorize but don't fund them (similar to LAPD) 2) Look at idle City projects funded by the General Fund for $ 3) Include projected/foreseeable costs in the budget already (e.g. labor contracts) 🧵
🚨 CITY OF LA BUDGET DEFICIT UPDATE 🚨 On Friday, City Council approved $41 MILLION in legal settlements including: 💡 $21M: Street lamp fixture fell on person's head 🚔 $15.3M: Traffic collision involving LAPD 🚶🏼 $1.9M: Crosswalk defect 🛼 $1.4M: Rollerblading trip/fall

Departments propose a budget that they deem will be able to efficiently and effectively serve the City. However, the FINAL budget for departments are decided/approved by the Mayor and City Council. (It is common for FINAL budgets to be different than what departments requested)

INSIDE SAFE AUDIT: NEW DETAILS In March, we announced we’re auditing the City’s homelessness program, Inside Safe. We now have specifics to share. 🔍OBJECTIVE: Understand, bring more transparency to, & make recommendations to Inside Safe to ensure it meets our City’s needs.
Today, at Judge Carter’s request, I spoke in court about our auditing powers & the City’s lack of transparency & accountability on homelessness efforts despite billions of dollars spent. Based on today & repeated community calls, we are announcing a focused audit on Inside Safe.
One question we get asked A LOT is: WHERE DO CANNABIS BUSINESS TAXES GO? 🤔 They go to the General Fund, where at least: • 36% goes to LAPD • 13% goes to LAFD • 6% goes to General City Purposes Last fiscal year, the City collected $112 MILLION in Cannabis Business Taxes. 💰
OUR BUDGET DEFICIT/PROCESS RECOMMENDATIONS📝 1) Don't eliminate job positions: Authorize but don't fund them (similar to LAPD) 2) Look at idle City projects funded by the General Fund for $ 3) Include projected/foreseeable costs in the budget already (e.g. labor contracts) 🧵
Thank you @MayorOfLA for highlighting our City worker residential pay analysis in your State of the City speech. City workers that live IN the City of LA can barely afford to get by. • 49% of employees that lived IN the City of LA made less than $50K (9k employees out of 18.2k)
