LA City Council Votes to Work Less Still Gets Full Pay While Crime and Taxes Soar

The Los Angeles City Council has never shied away from throwing taxpayer money at pet projects, but now they want to throw away something else—actual work. In a recent move that should make every hard-working American’s blood boil, twelve council members voted to push a ballot measure that would let them cut their council meetings in half. That’s right: one meeting a week. And if anyone thinks they’ll take a pay cut for doing less, think again. Their fat taxpayer-funded paychecks will stay exactly the same.

This is the latest example of liberal laziness infecting our government. Angelenos are expected to pay record-high taxes, cope with surging crime, and navigate filthy streets lined with homelessness. But instead of rolling up their sleeves and fixing these messes, LA’s leaders want to do even less. It speaks to the heart of what’s wrong with blue city politics: the people at the top don’t answer to the voters—they answer to their own comfort first.

Let’s be honest, if the average American told their boss they wanted to come in half as often—while keeping their full salary—they’d be laughed out of the room. But in woke LA, city council members actually expect voters to reward their laziness. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s an insult to every small business owner and working family struggling to get by, especially as inflation keeps rising thanks to leftist policies.

Meanwhile, let’s not forget how globalist interests and radical activists have their hooks deep in City Hall. Instead of fighting for safer neighborhoods or fixing decaying infrastructure, these politicians are content to waste time, dodge responsibility, and let LA turn into a playground for criminals. Cutting work hours isn’t about efficiency—it’s about protecting their own easy jobs while the city crumbles.

Why should taxpayers keep footing the bill for leaders who treat public service like a part-time gig? If these council members can’t be bothered to show up, maybe it’s time they stay home for good. Real Americans do their jobs. Maybe it’s time the LA City Council learned the meaning of a hard day’s work.
