State job finally offered after months of delay
Johnny Pancrazio, a 39 year old Vietnam veteran, quit a fast food job after a delayed Riverbend work release post and endured a month without income. Officials say his hiring was delayed by a protest over patronage and a hiring freeze. Gregory Baise intervened to expedite the process, and Pancrazio expected to start this week. He faced unemployment, welfare reliance, and loans from family while the issue unfolded.
