Plunderbund has the details on more massive layoffs in the state government:
According to information received by Plunderbund, the newly appointed leadership team at the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is working on a plan that will likely result in a 40% staff reduction at the department’s central office.
The new ODOT Strategic Plan is slated for release on Monday, August 8th and while they are still working out some of the details, we have been told that the “planning, construction, engineering” divisions “have been told to plan for 40% staff reduction over an as-yet unknown period of time.” An internal ODOT memo describes likely changes:
· This should not hit core areas
· Won’t dump on districts
· Outsourcing may be used
· Lay-offs have not been mentioned
· Every section will take a hit....
Gee. I wonder who will replace the current unionized employees? I'm betting on Republican cronies, contributors' sons /daughters, old party faithful's relatives, kool-aid drinking GOPers, untrained/unqualified seat warmers who work on puzzles all day, and those that will follow directions without asking questions if something is legal or ethical. This should be a real boost for corruption and inefficiency!
