Fifty employees at Butler County Job and Family Services – including 26 caseworkers – will be let go in a mass layoff at the agency to close a $3 million gap in state and federal funding.
The announcement that more than one-third of the staff will lose their jobs and the agency will close its Middletown office was made official at Thursday’s county commission meeting as JFS Director Jerome Kearns detailed his decision and said he will have to dip into the agency’s non-union staff to trim another $400,000 from the budget.....
....The union has worked with agency leaders over the past couple years to help save jobs by agreeing to a pay freeze and to cut hours from 40 to 38, she said.....
This will cause longer waits for the unemployed and those that need help. While corporations get millions in handouts from Gov. Kasich, those with jobs that help people out of work are losing their jobs. If Kasich would not have overpaid his staff, or not given millions of dollars to Bob Evans to move twenty minutes away, perhaps these and other jobs could have been saved.
Unfortunately, there are more layoffs in Ohio, and this time it is at a place that knows Kasich very well---Invacare.

What was it that Gov. Kasich said in that TV ad in which he stands on those two roads??????? The Examiner has the exact quote: "We're...keeping and creating jobs in our state......."
Right.
Vote NO on Issue 2. Stop the Kasich bus from destroying even more jobs, families, and communities.
