Oceanside is making a decision. The government has decided owning a TV station is more important that providing basic services to its citizens.
"Layoff notices have gone out to 11 Oceanside city workers who would lose their jobs to help balance the city's $112.9 million general fund budget, including three employees who were added to the list to restore funding to community television station KOCT.
In a revised plan released Thursday by City Manager Peter Weiss, aides to the council and mayor would go from full-time to part-time jobs and 55 senior management-level workers would start paying more of their pension costs to help erase a budget shortfall estimated to top $9 million for the 2010-11 fiscal year."
Eleven workers laid off to "save" a TV station.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. This appears to be a government out of control.
There is NO excuse for this. Now you know why government has too much money. Never vote another dime till all government owned TV stations are sold--along with parking lots, businesses and more private industry.
