Austerity Drive To Continue In Ohio Government

Rhodes administration spokesmen said austerity will extend into boards and commissions as Richard Krabach orders a survey of operations to find job eliminations and cut costs. Most layoffs from the first wave are permanent, with only essential roles rehired. About 4,000 workers were let go since last Sept. 17. The governor cited a potential 19,000 civil workers, but aides say only about 10 percent would be replaced. Officials noted possible state contact offices in major cities to attract industry, with Ohio promising to be a new site for firms willing to relocate.
