Carcieri to announce plan for workforce cuts

PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri will outline Monday his plan to cut the state's workforce to rein in a projected $211-million budget deficit.

He will speak at 2 p.m. in the State Room at the State House, according to an advisory from his office late today.

Carcieri has said his aim is to cut $200-plus million in state spending and 1,000 state jobs.

It remains to be seen whether the Governor lays off the highly placed and highly paid, or, will he choose to target the workers at the low end of the economic spectrum. I predict it will be the latter. Republican elitist philosophy holds that the poor are poor through their own fault while the very fact the rich are rich proves they deserve to be rich.

I'd like to see him start with the Lieutenant Governor's position. A million dollars in saving right there.
