Here are some key points to get you started on the report:
1. Cityhood is economically viable without a tax increase. "The IFA does not include new taxes. Proposition 218 requires that any proposals to increase taxes be approved by voters." (IFA, page 8)
2. Cityhood is economically viable without a reduction of services. Services such as law enforcement could be provided by existing agencies, such as the LA County Sheriff, while other services could be provided through a contract with LA County; or by the City of East Los Angeles. (IFA, page 16)
Please continue on to read the IFA below. You can also find an accompanying presentation in our Reports & Resources section.

We are very happy with this report – it is the first economic profile of East LA in decades. These results encourage us to move on toward the next step on the road to Cityhood. Your comments and questions on the IFA, and the entire incorporation process, are very important, and we'd like to know what you think!

Im so glad the people of east los are finally thinking of making it a city... with that in mind there will be new schools cleaner communities and more of an organized city, the city of east l.a could help out itself and other areas such as boyle heights and commerce

Do not change anything. The old saying why fix it if it is not broken!! I have no problem with the services that we now. We have law enforcement, fire services, street cleaning and trash pick up. We have a new Metro gold line!!

Becoming a city means you will be able to elect local representatives. Those you don't like, you can vote them out. That will lead to more responsive government (less neglect) for the area.

If you take a look at the year in which the fiscal analysis took place, you can understand why city hood could be sustainable....( June 2007:pre-recession, when times were better). How does the drop in property tax and other local revenues come into play without new taxes or other supplemental sources of revenue?
Not to mention the unspoken new beauracracy which will inevitabley form...Bell anyone?

If East LA becomes a City how can we be sure what happened to Bell won't happen to us? If we incorporate East LA we need to be sure thier is transperency on all levels.
