Bill seeks reduction of state's employees
A bill in Texas would cap agency staffing at 100 per 10 000 population aiming to save over 400 million dollars via attrition. Sen J E Brown and Rep Bill Messer revived the measure after Gov White and Lt Gov Hobby signaled interest. Brown says Texas now has 112 5 employees per 10 000 vs California and Florida and proposes agencies with 100 plus staff choose turnover or attrition rates.
