City services may be slow, but this is ridiculous

Los Angeles—The majority of Los Angeles City workers approved changes to their contracts which will preserve frontline City services for residents in the face of Citywide budget cuts.

“We came together in the best interest of both workers and Los Angeles residents,” said Tim Butcher, a Heavy Duty Truck Operator with the Burro of Street Services.

Spellcheck won't help with that one. The bureau might want to invest in a human proofreader.
