You will need to[ register](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyeP-WIDUBRmMQ-aam0p4exJ2DFjzBqLbasURja4mhxSpu1A/viewform). Since taking office in late 2022, Mejia has been vocal about the City’s budget deficits and years of short term balance budget balancing measures at the cost of long term fiscal sustainability. There are departmental over expenditures, overly optimistic revenue projections and subsequent revenue shortfalls, the increase in liability claims, the impact of new labor agreements, and the depletion of the Reserve Fund. And now the City needs to address the fiscal stress from the impact from the firestorm disaster. Mejia has also made a number of common sense recommendations, including, but not limited to, the following: · Implement a two year budget cycle · Develop a five year strategic plan to fix the City’s finances · Develop an infrastructure plan to address the City’s deferred maintenance needs · Reform the City’s budgeting process and priorities The Controller will be issuing his charter mandated Revenue Forecast Report for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year within the week. This will provide us with insight into the City’s seven economically sensitive taxes (Property, Business, Sales, Utility, Hotel, Documentary Transfer, and Parking Occupancy comprise about 75% of General Fund revenue) and the impact of the wildfires on these taxes. This revenue estimate does not address appropriations and the General Fund and overall budget. We will need to wait until April 20 when the Mayor submits her Proposed Budget to the City Council for its consideration. ## [ Suki Waterhouse Three-night Residency at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles](https://www.citywatchla.com/events/30422-suki-waterhouse-three-night-residency-at-the-roxy-theatre-in-los-angeles "Suki Waterhouse Three-night Residency at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles") Details CityWatch [FRONT PAGE EVENTS](https://www.citywatchla.com/events) February 21 2025 ![](https://www.citywatchla.com/images/Screenshot%202025-02-21%20at%206.12.23%20PM.jpg) Suki's three-night residency at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles from March 3-5.

Curated by Emmanuel Camacho Larios and Perry Picasshoe, the show includes a diverse range of works—paintings, textiles, sculptures, photographs, video installations, and more—each reimagining “alien” as a metaphor for transformation, empowerment, and self-reclamation. > > By redefining the experience of being an outsider, the artists demonstrate how alienness can be a powerful tool for self-expression and community building. Historically, the term “alien” has been used to portray individuals as outsiders, reinforcing stereotypes, particularly the Queer community who is often seen as “alien” to societal norms. This term has also been politicized in discussions around immigration, where the term “illegal alien” dehumanizes and criminalizes those not born within the borders of the United States. > > Featured artists include [Emmanuel Camacho Larios](https://www.instagram.com/eh_maa_noo3hl/), [Gabriela Díaz](https://www.instagram.com/evie.bites/), [César García](https://www.instagram.com/zuaycreatex/), [Stephanie Godoy](https://www.instagram.com/stephaniegodoyart/?hl=en), [Mariah Green](https://www.instagram.com/mariahgreenarts/), [Faustino Larios](https://www.instagram.com/lariosfaustino/?next=%2Favaferferii%2Ffeed%2F&locale=en_US%2Cen_US), [Yulissa Mendoza](https://www.instagram.com/yu.lis.sa/), [Josué E.
