Nithya Raman was among the 12 councilmembers who voted Thursday to approve Los Angeles’ nearly $15 billion budget — igniting a fierce fight over firefighter cuts, homelessness spending and whether the city is dumping today’s problems onto future voters. The budget, which was approved in a 12-1 vote, now heads to Mayor Karen Bass for her signature. Councilmember Traci Park cast the lone dissenting vote, blasting the spending plan as a budget that falls short on public safety and core neighborhood services.
