10 TV: All city employees that do not wear a uniform to work will face a five-day mandatory layoff, Mayor Michael Coleman announced Wednesday. Coleman, who unveiled the plan during a news conference, said the move will save the city about $1.6 million... In addition to ordering temporary layoffs, Coleman also announced that 12 union employees will be laid off. The mayor did not elaborate about who would be laid off, but he said top level management would be impacted. Leaders said the layoffs would save the city an additional $500,000. The mayor said that additional cuts could be made in coming weeks.
This city (like a lot of others in this country) is facing a budget disaster… Coleman’s response feels like nitpicking…
10 TV: Some areas north of Columbus reported snowfall amounts totaling 8-10 inches on Wednesday… the Columbus-metro area received about 4 inches of snow during Wednesday's storm. Wednesday night should be relatively quiet, with clear skies and overnight temperatures dropping to 16 degrees… clouds will increase again on Thursday, and we could see some snow showers during the evening hours. Daytime highs will reach 25 degrees. Snow showers will come to an end on Friday, with 1-2 inches of accumulation possible by the day's end.
Hope you stayed inside today with some coco and Gossip CBUS…
