McDonnell hints at job cuts for state employees
December 17, 2009 | Virginia News
Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell is warning state employees of tough times ahead, hinting that budget-balancing could cost some of them their jobs.
In a "Dear Fellow State Employee" e-mail, McDonnell thanked workers for their service and dedication, asking them "to help me find ways to make government work more effectively at a lower cost."
Without specifically mentioning layoffs, McDonnell referred to spending cuts by departing Gov. Timothy M. Kaine since April 2007 that have erased more than 1,600 jobs.
