The City of Reno is going to have to layoff about 30 city employees. This part of the article from the Reno Gazette Journal stands out: With the average employee costing about $100,000 in pay and benefits, a cut of $2-3 million would equate to 20 to 30 employees. The city’s general fund budget is just under $170 million. http://www.rgj.com/article/20110118/NEWS/110118036
City council members make over $63,000 a year for part time hours.
$100,000 in salary and benefits average for each city employee? That is quite a bit of money for the average city employee and it sounds like there are a bunch of over priced government employees in Reno.
And people wonder why state and local governments are in danger of bankruptcy.
