The Madfloridian's Journal @ Democratic Underground has posted a story from a local CFNews13.com:
Florida's budget crisis is leaving 522 Marion County teachers out of a job next year....
....Those teachers losing their jobs include every first- and second-year teacher district wide...
...The 522 positions eliminated represent roughly 17 percent of the 3,000 teaching positions in the county's public school system....
Ouch!
* Here in central Ohio, the city of Columbus has been forced to close eleven recreation centers because of necessary budget cuts. The Dispatch has a complete story about the closings.
