NOLA Mayor Laying Off Folks
And the hits keep coming:
NEW ORLEANS - His city in financial ruin from Hurricane Katrina, Mayor Ray Nagin is slashing about half the city's work force — a move he said caused him "great sadness."
Nagin said Tuesday he would lay off as many as 3,000 employees because he had been unable to find the money to keep the workers on the payroll.
The layoffs are "pretty permanent," Nagin said, and the city will work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to notify municipal employees who fled the city after the hurricane struck more than a month ago.
Gods. Someone give those folks a damn break.
