I am sorry that DWP employees are being fired (Nov. 2).
During the January earthquake, the DWP people, along with the Los Angeles employees, were heroes, helpful, reassuring and vital. They are among the best public servants I have dealt with--along with the roads, sanitation and maintenance people.
We need more jobs in Los Angeles for workers who contribute to our welfare, not fewer. We must have learned from the '80s there are more sensible ways to save money than to lose the employees, the lifeblood of companies and of our towns.
Thank you, DWP employees, for your assistance throughout the years, and best wishes for finding a good job in Los Angeles.
