We came to support our union brothers and sisters and urge the LA City Council to lease nine parking garages to a private company, an agreement that would generate $53 million for our parks, libraries, streets and neighborhoods.
We pushed the council to make the right decision.
They voted to move ahead with the plan to help rescue revenues for public services. As a husband and father of four children, I worry about providing for my family. We’re dealing with the stress of maintaining our home and morale at work is suffering.
We know everyone is struggling right now and that’s why I am urging the council to solve this deficit through the parking garage agreement and seeking out millions of uncollected debt and fees.
My picture in the LA Times gives me hope that residents and city leaders are looking and listening to the ideas and solutions of city workers as we face this tough budget crisis.

I’ AM A GARDENER WITH REC AND PARKS I WOU;D LIKE TO
ASK SOMEBODY WITH LOCAL 721 TO TELL THE COUNCIL THAT
THEY SHOULD STOP MAKING GARDENERS WORK ON THE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY IF THERE IS NO MONEY THEN ALL
GARDENERS SHOULD ONLY WORK MONDAY THUR FRIDAY.
AND LET A SMALL CREW OF PART TIME WORKERS COME IN TO
CLEAN THE RESTROOMS.
ALSO THEY SHOULD STOP THE SUMMER NIGHT LIGHTS
THIS WOULD SAVE THE CITY SOME NEEDED MONEY.
I CAN NOT MAKE IT IF THE CITY CUTS 10 PERCENT OF MY PAY!
