Bull Goose Cancelled Contracts Plunge Los Angeles Area Jobs
A large layoff hit the Los Angeles area as Air Force canceled development contracts for the 2 000 mile weapon project. About 400 workers in Long Beach and nearby facilities lost their jobs, with about 300 more affected in the wider area as plant cutbacks ripple through the region. Detectives linked to the case of Mrs Voigt in Glendale noted multiple glasses and a kitchen scene suggesting possible foul play or self harm, while authorities considered the possibility of suicide amid distress over political campaigns and corporate resignations. The public relations shift followed the resignation of Knight & Co. after last June’s primary, with Mrs Voigt once unseen by the public prior to her death.
