The City of Los Angeles cannot pay its own bills. No surprise.
The City Council is taking up discussions to privatize public facilities. Another non-shocker.
This time, however, the city has fewer options than before. Despite the growing outcry of poverty-stricken fringes throughout Los Angeles, the Council must either discharge its non-essential responsibilities or risk bankruptcy.
The LA Zoo may enter into public-private conservatorship. Parking garages will convert to private lend-lease, with a corporation paying a large lump fee for the privilege or running the city operations. Why not also contract the Convention Center, including the responsibilities of controlling and cleaning up after the crowds that swarm Downtown when the Lakers win another championship?
