I heard today from an anonymous source, that the St. Mary's health department is to lose up to 20 people to lay-offs due to a 300 million dollar discovery of a shortage of funds.

First we were taxed to make up for a budget shortfall of 300 million dollars, our sales tax was raised, then we borrowed from the stimulus, now we fire people and furlough others to make up for another shortfall.

Where is the money, What happened to it.? Who's math was so in error that this happened and how much will we be taxed to make up for it? How much of this debt will be passed on to our county governments, their last real estate tax cleaned me out.


Damn ,M.O.M. you are getting expensive. By the way how are the slot machines in your buddy's restaurant in Calvert County doing?

That's not m.o.m. that's Gerald Donovan, Mike Miller's buddy. Of course, Mike Miller is a m.o.m. buddy.

I am very sorry to hear that... my gosh!!! The state has money for crap they shouldn't spend for, yet, the Health Department is, IMO, an essential expense, especially when it is expected that we are going to have the worst flu season ever.

sorry to hear that Dups! What did you do for the Health Department? I know that Environmental Sanitarians are in short supply throughout the state, so if you have your ES license, you should have no problem finding another job in either the county or state governments, or private sector.

I think we should take up a collection for Dup so I don't have to support him. Anybody got any old clothes for him? :dye:

One branch...94 people

Sorry to hear about the job-loss.

How do they determine who gets cut? There are 20 out of 94 people now without jobs; I imagine they are upset and probably want justification as to why it was their position/job. Seniority? Pay? Job title?

Then is this permanent? If they re-hire in 6 months - do the fired employees get their jobs back? Keep their tenure?

This really sux!
