News flash: some legislators still tone-deaf:
"We're giving you folks an opportunity to help your constituents by doing this," said San Buenaventura.
Of course all cuts will be for services people want/need, not salaries:
That means the cuts must come from expenditures not mandated by the law, such as $270,000 from council members' contingency funds, $500,000 from grants to nonprofits, $254,917 by unfunding vacant positions and $240,000 by suspending summer fun programs.
Suspending recycling programs such as for cardboard, glass, plastic and paper, will save $1.4 million, operating pools just three days a week would save $218,000 and closing gyms and other county facilities two days a week will save $336,000, according to a Finance Department list.
Good thing Kenoi went on that bond-financed park-building binge!
