HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Layoff notices are on their way to 250 Pennsylvania state employees.
Gov. Ed Rendell says the number of layoffs so far is lower than anticipated because of savings from attrition. But he told reporters in Hershey on Monday that the number of layoffs may still grow.
The layoffs were forced by cuts Rendell made even before he signed a bare-bones state budget last week that will ensure that tens of thousands of other state workers will get paid on time.
