Ray Nagin has now announced the layoff of 3,000 employees since the city can't afford to pay them. The part of the story that really gets me is this:
Nagin announced with "great sadness" that he had been unable to find the money to keep the workers on the payroll.Non-essential workers? 3,000 employees constitutes half the employees of the city! If they were truly "non-essential", why were they on the payroll in the first place? If you want a completely non-essential person to can, how about the mayor?
He said only non-essential workers will be laid off and that no firefighters or police will be among those let go.
