Some employees at the Alabama Department
of Archives and History have been told the department may be forced
to layoff workers as a result of state budget cuts.
Archives and History Director Ed Bridges said Monday he and
other state department heads have been asked to come up with a plan
for how they will cut their budgets because of the economic
slowdown.
Gov. Bob Riley said last week that he would use his authority as
governor to make selective cuts and reduce overall spending from
the state's General Fund by 10 percent.
The executive director of the Alabama State Employees
Association, Mac McArthur, said he doesn't see how the budget cuts
can be made without some state workers losing their jobs.
