LOS ANGELES-There is nothing more boring than a budget hearing schedule.
I attended my first ever budget kickoff for the County of Los Angeles and was informed by Mike Antonovich that I would be given sixty seconds to address the entire $28 billion budget at the time.
I thought that seemed right as no other speakers, save the chap from SEIU had shown up. I dragged out the government code Government code 29080 and 29081 which were cited by the presiding Mayor of the Board of Supervisors and the budget hearing was closed after 120 seconds of testimony. I urged them to honor GC 29080 and 29081 and reset a second public hearing with fair notice.
