City manager warns of possible layoffs


City manager warns of possible layoffs
"City Manager Natasha Henderson recently notified city employees of the pending financial crisis by memo.
'I am sure that you are aware that the City of Muskegon Heights is facing severe economic challenges,' Henderson wrote in the Nov. 19 memo. 'As a result, we may be forced to make some difficult decisions relative to reductions in our work force.'
Her memo indicates that no decisions have been made on which employees might be affected. But the 'possibility of layoffs' presumably includes police and fire officers."

Why not?

The old "if you don't give us more money we'll fire police, cops, road crews" threat ALWAYS works.

"There's a sucker born every minute" has been the backbone of support for big government.

Ain't gonna change soon.
