Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass unveiled a $14.85 billion city budget for the coming fiscal year. The proposed 2026-27 plan avoids staff layoffs and eliminates vacant positions. It relies on stronger-than-expected tax revenues to stabilize city finances. The budget prioritizes homelessness, public safety, and core city services. This approach contrasts with last year's spending plan, which faced potential staff cuts.
