93 Jobs Cut in Atlantic City

Atlantic City is planning on cutting 93 city jobs, including 40 police officers and 30 firefighters. The layoffs are scheduled to occur on Thursday.

The decision comes after a meeting at City Hall between members of the Langford administration and city union representatives on Monday which made no progress towards an alternative.

“I don’t know what we’re going to do now,” said an attorney representing a coalition of local government unions, Robert O’Brien

The cuts are being seen as last desperate attempt to try and narrow the $10 to $15 million city budget deficit with only three months left in the year.
