Gov. David Paterson says he must examine an early start to state worker layoffs.From the New York Daily News:
Gov. Paterson is preparing to slash the state's workforce.
Escalating his battle with public employee unions, Paterson said Monday planning for layoffs must begin "immediately" because labor leaders have not agreed to concessions.
"Some unfortunate people who don't deserve it are going to get laid off," Paterson said. "And it burns me to have to say that because I don't think it's fair to them. But it's the only way we're going to be able to balance our budget."
