You help Angelenos and you help make our city better every day. But I want to be straight with you. My proposed budget unfortunately includes layoffs, which is a decision of absolute last resort. The City Attorney and I will be in Sacramento this week to meet with legislative leaders and advocate for resources, while also working to manage the increasing liabilities. So let me assure our hardworking public servants that I will never, ever stop fighting for you. Now, we're also taking steps to make our city run in a more efficient manner. (36:37–36:50)
