The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday voted 12-3 to add $384 million in LAPD salary spending by 2027.
"And it sends a message that Los Angeles takes public safety seriously," Park said.
"It shouldn't take us seven years to fix a sidewalk," said Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez before casting a"no" vote, along with Hugo Soto-Martinez and Nithya Raman."We shouldn't be limited in the number of alleys we can repave." Newly-elected Councilmember Imelda Padilla brought up her incarcerated brother as she expressed the need for more investment in social services. But she voted for the contract, reasoning that the council had to address LAPD staffing levels.
