Mayor Nutter's Plan C could cost Phila. 3,000 jobs

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:

Philadelphia's municipal workforce stands to shrink by 13 percent, or 3,000 jobs, under a plan Mayor Nutter outlined yesterday that would go into effect if Harrisburg, still locked in a budget impasse, fails to approve two key elements of the city's budget.

Moreover, taking the bureaucratic steps necessary to eliminate those jobs could begin as soon as mid-August.

The cuts would include the loss of nearly 1,000 positions in the Police Department, which has 6,600 officers, and 200 positions in the Fire Department, which has 2,200 firefighters.
