O'Brien's Job Gutting Program

A friend of mine suggested to me that, given the state of the state, job killing just didn't quite do the trick. It truly is a job gutting budget.

100 more at CMC today. http://www.wmur.com/health/289...

And it's not over. Not by a long shot. Remember, Manuse said they were just getting started.

Already got this courtesy Harrell Kirstein, now posted and updated. Waiting on a source for around 50 cut from Dept of Revenue Administration. We certainly don't need any revenue or anything, right?

They. Don't. Care.
We do.
Rinse, repeat.

The least talked about harm, and the most shameless. (4.00 / 4)

Cuts in a bare bones DRA will mean tax cheats go free.

Less revenue - bigger deficit.

Shameless.

I've heard through a few channels that (4.00 / 2)

Guinta's wife works at CMC, but did not get laid off.

It's not Frank's wife who I want to see out of a job.
