County budget ax: 61 positions eliminated
$5 million cut from budget
By CHRIS KNAUSS Staff Writer
CENTREVILLE Queen Anne's County's Board of Commissioners pared $5 million from a projected $18 to $21 million FY 2012 budget deficit at a special meeting Tuesday, March 1.
The commissioners deliberated for an hour and a half in a closed executive session to discuss the first round of the county's departmental reorganization plan. The doors were open to the public at 7 p.m., a half hour later than scheduled. A packed room full of county employees and interested citizens then listened as the commissioners unanimously voted to adopt the $5 million in cuts.

Tip of the hat to them!!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is some serious budget trimming.
ReplyDeleteI wish our County Executive would take heed to some of their medicine.
Maybe Ricky P. will soon begin to "perceice the message" -- see this post:

I feel for the 61 people who lost their jobs.
ReplyDeleteMost of the 61 were probably government employees who haven't done their job for years!
ReplyDeleteI don't feel sorry for those!
In this day and age, be thankful you have a job and do your best at you job or risk losing it.
There's a lot of people out there who want YOUR job!
