The Los Angeles City Council finalized an agreement with the 2028 Summer Olympic Games organizers to establish a cost-recovery process, allowing the city to seek reimbursement for services provided during the event. The deal includes access to a $270 million contingency fund from LA28, the private organizing committee, but critics argue it fails to fully protect taxpayers from potential financial risks. Council members warned that if LA28 incurs significant losses, the city could face costs exceeding $1 billion for police and public safety expenses. The agreement outlines a tiered funding structure: the city would cover the first $270 million in losses, the state would absorb the next $270 million, and the city’s general fund would handle any remaining shortfall. Despite safeguards, activists and officials expressed concerns about the financial risks, with some calling for greater transparency and protections. LA28 spokespersons emphasized their commitment to a fiscally responsible Games, while city leaders acknowledged the inherent risks but argued they are unavoidable given the city’s prior commitments as the host. Negotiations continue on venue-specific service costs, with final agreements due by October 2027.

Eversource told the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority that an expedited Advanced Metering Infrastructure deployment in Connecticut requires a companion cost‑recovery framework — including a reconciling tracker, deferral for one‑time O&M and possible securitization — and asked PURA to clarify its December 2024 decision before the utility proceeds on a five‑year timetable.
