Budget Cuts Hit City Street Department
Commissioner James W. Knight plans layoffs of 50 street maintenance workers, effective Wednesday, to trim payroll from 52 000 to 35 000 and curb a budget deficit. The action, tied to economy needs, will reduce the department by over 10 percent and may hinder daily operations. Knight says the dismissals aim to place the department in the black by June 1 and avoid continuing budget deficits.
