“Mayor Dave Bing has threatened that an additional 1,000 city workers will lose their jobs starting Saturday, but as of late Wednesday, his spokesman said hard numbers on how many people would be affected and in which departments were unavailable because of ‘variables’ that are part of the layoff plan.
‘There are a number of variables which are going into the number of layoffs which are expected to occur next week,’ spokesman Ed Cardenas said in a statement. He said a ‘clearer view of where we are, and where we are going’ should be available today. “
