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 urged them to honor GC 29080 and 29081 and reset a second public hearing with fair notice.
