内布拉斯加州税务局解雇了11名雇员,关闭了Scottsbluff卫星办事处,在预计预算短缺3亿美元的情况下削减了约2.7%的劳动力。 The Nebraska Department of Revenue laid off 11 employees and closed its Scottsbluff satellite office, cutting about 2.7% of its workforce amid a projected $300 million budget shortfall. 此举在其他州机构的裁员之后进行,先于Jim Pillen州长提出的5亿美元计划,其中10%为普通基金削减10%,部分原因是联邦税制的变动。 The move follows layoffs in other state agencies and precedes Governor Jim Pillen’s proposed $500 million, 10% cut to the general fund, partly due to federal tax changes. 联盟领导人和立法者对这一时机提出了批评,指出在财政危机期间,削减是针对税收工作人员的。 Union leaders and lawmakers criticized the timing, noting the cuts target tax collection staff during a fiscal crisis. 国家官员以低办公室交通量为由,以效率为行动辩护,并指出,在国家审查人员配备以避免费用高昂的承包商时,可能会发生更多的裁员。 State officials defended the action as necessary for efficiency, citing low office traffic, and said further layoffs may occur as the state reviews staffing to avoid costly contractors.
