Mayor Joseph F. Battle Jr. announces 91 CETA workers will terminate by March 13, two weeks early, forcing shifts to the streets and trash collection. He warns of deep budget cuts, potential Title II and VI funding losses, and emergency council meetings to rework finances while pursuing more police hires and federal aid.
