Detroit Mayor: 'Nobody's protected' from city layoffs

The Detroit News reports:
Mayor Dave Bing today delivered a tough, sobering message: "nobody's protected" from layoffs given the city's precarious finances including his appointees as well as police and firefighters.

The mayor wouldn't say when these cuts will occur but told reporters that nearly 1,000 pink slips to other city employees have already gone out and will take effect by Sept. 26.
