Yesterday LA City Council voted to spend $500,000 on a study to see if selling off parking meters to private owners as well as six parking garages in order to “fill in the gaps” in the budget would work.  Really?

Let me get this straight.  You are paying $500,000 to see if you can make some money off of selling property that already makes you money?  Really?

I mean, really?

While you’re at it, why don’t you start selling the naming rights to City Hall? Can you see it now? The Northrup Grumman City Hall and City Council meetings can be held in the Ronald D. Sugar Chambers.

The only opposition to this study was Councilman from the 12th District Grieg Smith.  Well done.

Here is a novel idea; don’t spend $500,000 on stupid studies and use that money to fill your “gaps”.  This might have worked in Chicago but do you really think it will pay off in LA?

   Great post! Another stupid idea from our elected officials. I still don’t understand why we don’t have a say in how OUR tax dollars are spent.
