Mayor Bass released her proposed Budget for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year on Monday, April 21.  During her State of the City address, she said the shortfall was around $800 million.  The shortfall is the result of new, costly labor agreements (particularly for the Police Department), revenues that did not live up to the previous budget’s optimistic projections, and an unrealistically low budget for liability payouts.  This budget shortfall did not have to be.  Better, more realistic budgeting would have left us on more solid ground, but here we are.
