City council unanimously approved the $11.2 billion budget last month which is set to go into effect July 1.<\/p>\n<p>The budget allocates nearly $1 billion to combat the city\u2019s severe homeless crisis by providing housing and services to those without homes. When in office, President Trump criticized how Los Angeles was handling its homeless crisis and now they seem to be throwing even more money at the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Democratic-run cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, did you see what is happening to those cities? Can you even believe it?\u201d the President questioned. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on there? People are getting sick by just walking down the street.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Los Angeles: this is your justice budget.<\/p>\n<p>An investment in core services, infrastructure and clean streets, arts, culture and our economic recovery.<\/p>\n<p>A vision to bend the arc of our city\u2019s future in the direction of greater equity. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RPuPgrMc5Q\">pic.twitter.com\/RPuPgrMc5Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MayorOfLA (@MayorOfLA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MayorOfLA\/status\/1400233735564398592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The plan also includes subsidiary funding for tourism, restaurants and the Gang Reduction and Youth Development Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo look at a way to break the back of poverty here, to invest in young people,\u201d Garcetti expressed. \u201cI think it has been greatly underreported the environmental revolution Los Angeles has led.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the mayor\u2019s spending plan includes more than $1.7 billion for the Los Angeles Police Department which was a decision many progressives opposed. This is a three percent increase from when the city council cut $150 million from the police department last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do believe these are seeds that we are planting in the city that are pretty profound of understanding public city re-imagination that doesn\u2019t have to come at the expense of something,\u201d the mayor explained. \u201cIt can boldly move certain responsibilities we have thrown onto our police shoulders, to others who are more effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The council believes the budget provides Los Angeles a pathway out of the financial uncertainties inflicted by the pandemic and grants opportunities to struggling families.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/china-threatens-nuclear-war-over-u-s-calls-for-probe-into-origins-of-covid-19\/\">China Threatens Nuclear War Over U.S. Calls For Probe Into Origins Of COVID-19<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti speaks about the importance of infrastructure during a news conference with fellow mayors and members of Congress outside the U.S. Capitol.
