Pine Bluff Budget Problems

Pine Bluff Mayor Dutch King is suggesting
that some employees drop to working only 32 hours per week to help
trim the city`s strained budget.
King says the city would rely on volunteers to cut their hours
-- and their pay. From a 40-hour week, dropping to 32 hours
represents a 20 percent reduction.
King says the move would be temporary until the city can
straighten out its finances. He says the workers would still be
considered full-time employees.
