LA County Faces Budget Problems

Although I no longer live in LA, I still return often to see the family and am vaguely aware that like much of the country, Los Angeles county has fallen on tough economic times.  As explained by one county official earlier this year, "the combination of state budget cuts and falling tax revenues is straining the county's ability to provide public services."

But it's hard to feel too bad for municipal government when you see something like this while waiting for your parents to pick you up from the LAX airport:

Public services may be cut, but canine citizens of Los Angeles passing through on business travel through the LAX airport, fear not for the loss of your services!  Your fake fire hydrant and manicured lawn remain protected for your use thanks to your tax dollars... oh wait, DOGS DON'T PAY TAXES.
