Gov. Dannel P. Malloy tried to give the media the “red meat” it was looking for Friday at the traditional post Bond Commission press conference. However, he admitted he would probably fall short of giving out too much new information about the looming 6,500 layoffs.
He said it’s likely large scale layoffs will begin as early as next Tuesday and those layoffs will include managers, as well as non-managers, and union, as well as non-union employees.
“I don’t think we’re ever going to get a point where there’s 1,000 a day, but we have to get to the point where we notice the appropriate number to bring the budget into balance,” Malloy said.
