A critical agreement between Olympics organizers and LA is now 6 months late - Divisions by zero

> >A key agreement outlining what city services Los Angeles will provide for the 2028 Olympic Games and how the cash-strapped city will be reimbursed for its extra work is now six months late. > > >High-stakes talks over that agreement between the city and the private Olympics organizing committee LA28 have dragged far past an Oct. 1 deadline, sparking concern from city officials and observers that taxpayer dollars could be on the line. > > >City Controller Kenneth Mejia, who audits and scrutinizes city finances, called the delay “deeply troubling.” > > >“The City needs a guarantee from LA28 that they will not go over budget and will pay for all of the additional security, sanitation, transportation, administrative, and any other costs associated with the Games,” Mejia said in a statement to LAist. “The preparation and execution of these events should not come at any cost to Los Angeles taxpayers.”
