We, the undersigned, ask that Villaraigosa reallocate 10\% of the citys graffiti abatement budget to SPARCs Mural Rescue Program. This 10\% will allow LA murals to be cleaned of graffiti and preserved through the establishment of a mural hotline and mural ambulance and training of youth in mural-graffiti removal and mural restoration. It will also assist city infrastructure by creating jobs for youth, youth that would, perhaps, otherwise be tagging in their spare time.
