L A urged to cut reserve tax rate and funds
Los Angeles officials debated trimming the city reserve fund to reduce the property tax rate. Councilman Marvin Braude urged reducing the 44 million dollar reserve to 8 to 10 million, while City Administrative Officer C Erwin Piper warned such a level is not prudent. Braude argued expenditures could be cut later in the year to cover emergencies. The Revenue and Taxation Committee has another meeting before a final budget report to the City Council is issued by August 19.
