County Executive Robert P. Astorino today presented his county spending plan for 2012 that has no increase in the county property tax levy, cuts spending by $100 million and continues to provide essential services and aid to those most in need.
Astorino’s proposed $1.689 billion budget also keeps Playland open and the Bee-Line Bus service intact. The proposal reduces the workforce 7.5 percent by eliminating 367 jobs, including 210 by layoff. The layoffs are the reluctant but necessary result of the failure by the county’s unions to work with the county executive on the “jobs for savings” offer he made to them upon coming into office two years ago.
See attached for details.
