COUNTY WORKFORCE REDUCTION PLAN VERSUS HERENTON'S "NOT" PLAN FOR THE CITY
There is a good contrast between the City and the County on workforce reductions. I have attached two items that will be introduced in the Shelby County budget committee agenda today. It is a proposal for workforce reduction of 8.4% for the county producing a savings of $58,341 per position for a total savings of over $20 million dollars. Contrast this with the Mayor Herenton’s proposal of 100 buyouts at $70,164 per position which is shown in the third attachment. This is a reduction of 1.5% and produces no immediate savings. The City needs to match the County’s serious proposal and reduce the City employee roll by 8.4% or 530 positions and save up to $30 million dollars. We need serious reductions now to match what the County is doing and to help the taxpayers who are already tightening their belts.

I love your website. I am surprize it is not riddled with comments.
The information is eye opening and usually makes me wish we had a dictator instead to the elected idiots that are in charge.
Ok, some of them are ok, but in general the ship is sinking.
keep up the good work.
