Garcetti: LA is ‘under attack’ and will need to furlough thousands of city workers
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti warned Sunday that the economic downturn facing the city will be more painful than the 2008 recession, requiring cuts to government programs and the furlough of thousands of city employees.
In a remarkable State of the City address, one that comes five weeks into the shutdown of many businesses, government buildings and other facilities, Garcetti declared that the city is “under attack” from the coronavirus and the economic fallout that has come with it.

CRUISE SHIPS
The three last cruise ships still sailing will dock today.
One of them - the MSC Magnifica - has had an odyssey like no other.
The cruise left Europe in January, and was in the other corner of the world when ports began to close.
With nowhere to go, the Italian-owned ship started the long journey home. Its passengers, used to a new port every few days, last felt land six weeks ago.
