Gov. Rod Blagojevich lays off 325 state workers to balance budget
Two dozen state parks and historic sites will close and heavy caseloads for workers who help abused children will increase as Gov. Rod Blagojevich lays off 325 state workers to balance the state budget.
The cuts will take place over the next three months, and the administration notified state employees of the layoffs earlier this week. Hardest hit was the Department of Children and Family Services, which will lose 179 staffers. The Department of Human Services will fire 73 people,
Note: And a kid will get killed, and the media will exploit it, and the state will suddenly agree to increase funding and they will hire more workers, take more kids into foster care, overwhelm themselves again, repeat.
