The Broke and the Beautiful: ‘Game of Thrones’ Edition

Filed Under Celebrities | Comments Off

Lannisters always pay their debts, but unfortunately, Lena Headey doesn’t have the money to pay hers. According to TMZ (h/t Huffington Post), the “Game of Thrones” star has “less than $5 in her bank account” and needs to get her income-tax refund. Headey, who plays Queen Cersei on the hit HBO series, is asking for $6,000 from that refund right away because she can’t afford to pay her living expenses. Things should shape up eventually; HBO recently announced it was renewing the show for a fourth season. In the meantime, maybe she can take a little advice from this guy.

California Mayor Asks for Prayers as Bankruptcy Looms

Filed Under News | Comments Off 

Print Friendly

Atwater, California, declared a fiscal emergency and told almost a quarter of its city employees they will lose their jobs as it seeks to avoid becoming the state (STOCA1)’s fourth city to seek bankruptcy protection.

The town of 28,000, situated among Merced County’s dairies and almond groves about 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco, has a $3.3 million deficit that may leave it insolvent before year-end, according to budget documents. Atwater officials said they will seek concessions from public- employee unions and try to raise fees for some services and sell others to balance the budget and avoid bankruptcy.

Stockton, San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes all have gone into bankruptcy court since June. Across the state, the recession and the foreclosure crisis have depleted property-tax revenue even as municipalities are burdened with rising costs.

“This is the saddest day in my history of service to the city of Atwater,” Atwater Mayor Joan Faul said of the loss of jobs. “But honestly, if we had not made the cuts we would not have been able to make payroll.”

Under a new state law, cities seeking bankruptcy protection must first declare a fiscal emergency or hold mediation talks with creditors. Municipalities can file for court protection if mediation doesn’t bring a resolution in 60 days or if the city runs out of money and declares a fiscal emergency.

To do so, the city must first invoke the new law known as AB506 in order to bypass the mediation with a fiscal emergency declaration, something Atwater hasn’t yet done. The council has twice postponed making a decision while it negotiates with labor unions and may consider the move Oct. 22.
