But when the budget was approved last June, the city and firefighters’ union were still negotiating a new contract, and the fire department’s budget did not yet include expected raises.
A spokesman for Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield explained that it is common budgeting practice that while negotiations are in progress, money for anticipated pay raises is not allocated to the department but approved separately in unappropriated funds.
When the two sides did reach an agreement in November, that money was moved over to the fire department’s pot, according to Mr. Blumenfield’s office, meaning this year’s fire budget is actually $53 million more than last year.
見你咁慘, 講嚟講去都係同一樣嘢,
又要搵分身自己撐自己, 我俾條Link 你睇
你講既所有野都係錯
連County政府點運作都唔識
走去學人係咁講cut budget
又唔知道公會好麻煩,
啲合約要時間傾
又唔知最終係多 53m
點呀, 唔係好撚型㗎咩
仲等緊你自貼阿, 撚樣
等緊睇你個Title 有幾大
