County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef’s latest layoff list shows that only about half as many positions would be eliminated as he had originally proposed, but 80 people could still lose their jobs. The list details the posts that could be cut Tuesday when the Rockland Legislature convenes to consider measures meant to cut expenses. The county is struggling to pay for operations through 2012 to address an overall budget deficit hovering around $95 million, and to avoid a further downgrading of its credit, now just a notch above junk status.
Vanderhoef had originally proposed 150 layoffs and it is possible, if the county can’t cut expenses further, additional cuts could be proposed.
