San Francisco’s mayor has ordered city departments including police and public health to propose budget cuts of $206 million by next week in a desperate attempt to reverse the stricken city’s ‘doom loop’ spiral into economic collapse.
Law enforcement budgets in the city, which is ravaged by homelessness, drugs and a downtown business exodus, face cuts of $27.6 million, while the public health department could lose a further $25.9 million, according to a DailyMail.com analysis.
The fire department must propose reductions of around $10.5 million to meet the mayor’s demand, while city’s crumbling Municipal Transport Agency must find savings of $15.5 million, a review of official figures suggests.
Hmm. Have they cleared this action with AIPAC, SPLC, ACLU, B’nai B’rith, Antidefamation league? Federal Reserve Board, A.P.A., A.M.A. yet?
No doubt this ‘order’ will solve San Francisco’s problems socially as well as economically.
