NBC 4: Columbus police announced the layoffs Tuesday of the police recruit class scheduled to graduate this week. According to the Department of Public Safety, 27 recruits were notified of the layoffs as part of ongoing budget cuts. The recruits were scheduled to graduate Friday. The mayor’s office is faced with making $13 million in cuts before passing a balanced budget, and city officials said they expect to save $1.2 million with the recruiting cuts.
Sources had indicated this would occur… Still, given the violent crime increase, the impact is no less severe…
10 TV: A winter storm warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. for Franklin county… Snow will mix with sleet and freezing rain overnight. The wintry precipitation will change back to all snow early on Wednesday morning. Then, the snow will taper off on Wednesday afternoon… freezing rain overnight has been eating into the total snow accumulation, especially south of Columbus, but the precipitation will switch back to heavy snow around 8 a.m. Wednesday. Up to an inch of ice may accumulate before the snow returns. Temperatures will remain steady in the mid 20s throughout the storm, which will continue through late Wednesday afternoon. Skies should clear Wednesday night, but snow showers may reappear late Thursday, bringing perhaps as much as an inch of accumulation. A high of 24 degrees is expected on Thursday.
Everyone be careful out there… We are remaining indoors…
