NLV Passes Budget Calling for Layoffs
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- The North Las Vegas City Council has unanimously passes a $400 million budget that will include over 200 layoffs among police, fire and support staff.
"What I struggle with and what makes me the maddest is that those families are sitting home stressed out today about whether is their dad, is their mom, are they going to have a job?" North Las Vegas Mayor Shari Buck said. "I know that they lay awake at night as we lay awake at night worrying about their jobs."
In a statement, City Manager Tim Hacker said, "There is no question these are tough times and the last thing we want for anyone is a lost job or to reduce the current level of services and public safety for residents."
