Another State Is Forced To Lay Off Workers
Budget woes have forced another state to lay off workers.
Font Size:

INDIANAPOLIS (November 13, 2009)--Indiana's state government has started laying off workers because of dwindling state revenues.

The Department of Administration said 33 government workers will be out of a job.

Commissioner Mark Everson says the layoffs are needed because of the state's financial situation.

He said the cuts will save the state $900,000 during the current fiscal year that ends in June.

Some of the laid-off employees worked on capital projects that are now on hold as part of recent cuts.

Others maintain Indiana Government Center facilities or work with the state's vehicle fleet.

Gov. Mitch Daniels ordered agencies to cut costs by 10 percent during this fiscal year because state tax collections have fallen $309 million below expectations.
