Wonder how many of these are in the DUMBOCRAT Category? 100% I'd guess.

The city of Maywood will lay off all city employees and begin contracting police services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department effective July 1, officials said.
In addition to contracting with the Sheriff's Department, the Maywood City Council voted unanimously Monday night to lay off an estimated 100 employees and contract with neighboring Bell, which will handle other city services such as finance, records management, parks and recreation, street maintenance and others. Maywood will be billed about $50,833 monthly, which officials said will save $164,375 annually.
"We will become 100% a contracted city," said Angela Spaccia, Maywood's interim city manager.
Deputies from the East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station will begin patrolling the 1.2-square-mile city by the end of the month, said Capt. Bruce Fogarty of the Sheriff's Contract Law Enforcement Bureau. The annual cost of providing those services for the small city is estimated at $3.6 million, Fogarty said.
At a council meeting Monday night, city leaders said they were forced to dismantle the Police Department and lay off city workers because they lost insurance coverage as a result of excessive police claims filed against the department. They also blamed years of financial abuse and corruption from the previous council. "We're limited on our choices and limited on what we can do," Councilman Felipe Aguirre told the standing- room-only crowd.

The liberal dung-heap continues to die a slow financial fate. Spent most of my life in Taxifornia, and I have watched it go from conservative national winner, to liberal dung-heap at the bottom.
Take note Americans. You don’t need any more lessons about liberal government at ANY level.
“The city of Maywood will lay off all city employees and begin contracting police services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department effective July 1”
They say this like it is a bad thing.
Maywood is illegal-alien heaven. I thought you could only get a fake Cal ID at Westlake-Mcarthur but the entire city is Tijuana.
A sanctuary city” goes broke. Who could have seen it coming?
Just south of the infamous East LA.
Maybe the city should pay the county in pesos, which seems to be the desired currency for southern California.
funny... whenever progressives/liberals get the chance to control government, the result is always the same. here and overseas.
the people all end up in poverty, unemployed, and with no chance to get out of their situation.
of course... the progressives in ALL situations have ALWAYS ended up with all the power and control.
It’s located right beside Vernon, a well known industrial garment city which makes everything from levi’s, Forever 21 etc. So the illegals who work there just get places to live in Maywood. Heck, the slums of Manila look better than Maywood, let’s put it that way.
I heard that Xe (formerly Blackwater) is submitting a bid for city police work.
It might clear a few problems up.
I thought I read a few years ago the household population is something like 8 people. Largest in the country. Cars parked everywhere!
Would love to see Christie do this in NJ. Fire every state employee and outsource it to a private company.
Who knew Maywood had a police department?
This is the mantra. Then aggressively cut taxes and regulations.
Sanctuary City. Nuf said.
LMAO!!!
I'm sure the current council is squeaky clean!
